Dream Big

I had another post planned for today but after reading a recent blog post by Alex Beadon Photography I was moved to share her encouraging words with you all. Today she spoke about following your passion. In the video she encourages you to listen to your inner dreamer and to believe in yourself. Please stop at this moment and watch a few minutes of her heart warming video.

During this video I noticed something interesting happening. The inner voice that I have tried so hard to silence began to break through the walls and speak. I began to feel a surge of energy and determination to reach my dreams despite the various obstacles I may face. You see for so long I’ve wanted to become a photographer, writer, and make up artist, but my negative inner voice would over shadow my inner dreamer and convince me that those dreams were impossible. “You’ll never make it, you’re disabled WHO would want to work with you” These are the words my negative inner voice would tell me.



Trying desperately to silence that negative voice, my inner dreamer would fight and try so hard to push past and scream out to me “Have faith, you can do it, I believe in you” But these kind words never had enough power to completely silence and shut away the negative voice that had now perched itself at the front of my brain refusing to move. Listening to Alex gave my inner dreamer the power to stand up and make itself known. Yes, at that moment I felt the need to let everyone know that I WILL achieve my dreams!



There will be obstacles and there will be people who will tell me it can never be done. But I have faith that with determination I can accomplish anything. Allowing my inner dreamer to believe will make my life so much happier. Sitting around feeling sorry for yourself and doubting your abilities without first attempting to succeed is self destructive. So here I am in front of ALL of you proclaiming my dreams of becoming a photographer, writer, and YES a makeup artist. These are achievable dreams and I’m determined to make sure they happen.



Do you listen to your inner dreamer? What is she telling you?
