“Have a good night sleep Monique. Dream a big dream then wake up and make that dream come true,” I said to my daughter a few nights ago. “Dad, I had a dream last night that I was kidnapped and I definitely don’t want that dream to come true,” she said. “Well Monique, don’t let the memory of your last bad dream bully you into a mindset of never wanting to sleep again.” I said with a smile… She was speechless…
This short, benign conversation got me to thinking about a harsh reality uncovered and discovered. In this life so many people are guilty of failing at something and then allowing the memory of their failure to bully them into seeking a corner of comfort and safety never to take risk again. Don’t let this be you.
Yes, I’m sure Monique’s dream was probably scary for her, but I can assure you that she continues to brave the act of going back to sleep every night in spite of what happened in the past. So too should you as it relates to continuing to take reasonable risk and trying to better your lot in this thing called “life”.
So rather it’s a failed marriage, relationship, business venture or a bad choice, I encourage you to get back up and get-on back out there and continue in your tireless efforts to Make it GREAT!
