As I reflect on where I am in life, I can't help but want more and feel a hunger for better. I believe that it is finally time to start taking even bigger steps towards my dreams. I am in a good place, both mentally and emotionally, and I am determined to live up to the potential I know I have. In this blog, I wanted to share some of the areas I have been exploring and some of my plans for making significant progress towards my bigger dreams. I want this next coming year to be my biggest yet. That means more will be required of me. I will need to put clearer plans in place, become more disciplined, be more willing to fail, do things I have never done before and challenge myself to keep going to achieve them!
1. Recognizing My Ambition:
I have always had big dreams and aspirations it has been a yearning from a young girl. Now I feel a burning desire to turn them into reality. I am no longer content with staying in my comfort zone I am familiar with; I want to challenge myself and push beyond my limits. This coming year, I am embracing my ambition and committing to taking the necessary steps towards becoming the person I aspire to be. I am really clear on what that looks like and I am excited to see how far I can go.
2. Setting Bold Goals:
Dreaming big is just the beginning; setting bold goals is the next crucial step. I am currently breaking down my big dreams into smaller, achievable goals that will help me on my journey. These goals will serve as milestones, allowing me to track my progress and stay motivated along the way.
3. Embracing Challenges:
I understand that taking bigger steps towards my dreams will come with its fair share of challenges. However, I am prepared to face them head-on. I see these challenges as opportunities for growth and development. Each obstacle I encounter will only make me stronger and more resilient, bringing me closer to my ultimate goals.
4. Believing in Myself:
This year, I am making a conscious effort to believe in myself wholeheartedly. I still allow other people’s judgements or people undervaluing me or my own self-doubt hold me back. So, I am surrounding myself with positive influences. I am putting strong practices in place like prayers, scriptures, self-affirmation, meditation and daily routines to remind myself daily of my capabilities. I know that I have what it takes to achieve greatness and I am ready to prove it to myself and the world.
5. Taking Bold Action:
Dreaming big is not enough; I understand that in order to make my dreams into reality I have to be braver and bolder. I am committed to doing whatever it takes and making the necessary steps towards my goals. Whether it's auditioning, signing up, launching programs, seeking mentorship, or networking with like-minded individuals, I am ready to step out and make things happen.
6. Embracing Failure and Success for Growth:
I understand that failure is an inevitable part of any journey towards success. I embrace failure willingly and I embrace it as an opportunity for growth. Success is something I fear more and have to consistently work on not self-sabotaging. This year I will learn from my mistakes, adapt, and keep moving forward. I know that the most successful individuals have faced failure along the way, and I am no exception.
7. Inspiring Others:
As I embark on this journey of taking bigger steps towards my dreams, one of my greatest motivations is to inspire others, especially my students and my daughter. I want to show them that it is possible to turn dreams into reality, to break free from limitations, and to live a life of purpose and fulfillment. I want to be a role model for them, demonstrating the power of determination, perseverance, and a positive mindset. By sharing my own journey and experiences, I hope to encourage and empower them to believe in themselves and their own abilities.
This coming year is my time to shine. I'm not longer willing to dim my light to make others feel less uncomfortable. I am ready to embrace the journey and take bigger steps towards my dreams. I am determined to take action and make significant progress towards my achieving my dreams. I am excited and hope to inspire others along the way and show them that they too can turn their dreams into reality. Let's make this year the year of living up to our bigger dreams!
