It can feel like it\u2019s easier to just let your dream go and walk away from it, rather than continue taking the steps that will lead you in the direction of making those dreams come true.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Maybe your dream is that you\u2019ll meet the man who\u2019s perfect for you, but you\u2019re tired of dating men who aren\u2019t interested in being in a relationship or with whom you just don\u2019t feel a real connection. This scares you, and the little voice in your head keeps telling you that maybe you\u2019re just not meant to be in a relationship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Maybe your dream is about reigniting the love and passion you and your man once shared. But it\u2019s been <em>such a long time<\/em> since you\u2019ve felt that closeness, and you wonder whether the relationship was ever meant to be and if it\u2019s even worth saving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Maybe your dream is to go back to school, start a new career, or launch that business you\u2019ve always wanted to have, but you\u2019ve been too afraid to step away from what you\u2019re already doing and from the salary you\u2019re already making to branch off into something new. So you try to convince yourself that maybe you\u2019re already doing what you were meant to do, even though in your heart of hearts, you know that simply isn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>No matter what your dream is, if you\u2019re thinking about giving it up, I\u2019m here to tell you: DON\u2019T!<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>There is a reason that dream was placed in your heart in the first place, and you owe it to yourself to do everything you can to make it come true!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There were times in the beginning of my marriage where I wondered whether I\u2019d made a mistake and married the wrong man. I\u2019d tell myself it would be easier to just be single again so that I could find someone else that I <em>could <\/em>make things work with. The truth is I was <em>terrified<\/em> to make the changes I knew could help our relationship because I was afraid he wouldn\u2019t want to make it work, and then I\u2019d feel rejected.<\/p>\n<p>There have been times in my business where I\u2019ve wondered if maybe it would just be easier to go get a job or do something else. While I knew in my heart that relationship coaching is what I was born to do, I was afraid to do the work it would take to reach out to new clients, that I\u2019d something in a blog post or email that would upset someone, and that I might not be able to actually make a living doing what I love.<\/p>\n<p>As scared as I was in both of these situations, the one thing I refused to do was give up. Why?<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Because my faith in my dream was bigger than any fear that might show it\u2019s ugly face!<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>A huge part of loving yourself is being true to yourself and honoring your heart\u2019s desires. When you sell out on yourself and your dreams, you\u2019ll never really experience the fulfillment you long for!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, how do you push past the fear and keep believing in your dreams, even when things are not flowing, you\u2019re not getting the results you want, or you have other people telling that maybe you should just give up?<\/p>\n<p><strong>You recommit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You recommit to yourself and your dream.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You remind yourself that this is <em>your dream<\/em>, this is <em>your life<\/em>, and that it\u2019s <em>up to you<\/em> to make that dream come true!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>You find people in your life who believe in you and your dream<\/strong> and are willing to help you make it come true!<\/p>\n<p>You remember that the dream in your heart was placed there by something greater than you and that this means that <strong><em>there IS a way to make it happen<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, right now, take a moment and think about your dream.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Have you been taking the steps to push past your fear and make it happen?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Have you reached out to people who believe in you and who can help you in making that dream come true?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Have you made your faith in yourself and your dream bigger than your fears?<\/p>\n<p>If you answered \u201cNo\u201d to any of the above questions, I have another question for you:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Are you ready to recommit to your dream?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are, I first want to congratulation you and let you know that I\u2019d love to be one of those people who will stand for and encourage you in helping it come true!<\/p>\n<p>I also want to invite you to post it in the comments section of the blog and <strong>declare<\/strong> <strong>your re-commitment to your dream<\/strong> <strong>and one step you are going to take within the next 7 days to make it come true!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Something powerful happens when you are courageous enough to declare your dream publicly.
