I will admit I stumbled and lost a little faith in my dreams and what I was striving for, and didn't feel I had the right or the courage to motivate others. But, sometimes when we are at our lowest points we can help bring others to their highest points.
We have to remember that by helping others receive their blessings we will in return be blessed. We may not see it right away and it even may take years, but when the time is right and God feels as though we are ready for what we have been praying for and asking to have come into our lives it will happen.
I was watching Tyler Perry's latest play Madea's big happy family, and Mr. Perry became a little sidetrack and off of script, but his words were truthful and needed to be said. He said, "We pray and ask for things and sometimes they do not come when we want them to or things will get in the way and seem as if this is what we asked for, but in reality its not. We have to go through the obstacles and the bad to finally get to what we really want."
Sometimes we ask for our dreams to come true and we get everything but what we were asking for. Hold on just a little longer. You can't always get to point A from Point B without some form of obstacles or traffic jams. Life is something we have to work hard for, so when we get what we have been praying for we can cherish it more and hold onto it longer and appreciate it.
Those goals and dreams you placed on the highest shelf so you didn't have to see them and be reminded that it didn't work out. Take it off the shelf and dust that dream off. You are never to old and should never give up on it. Keep your faith, believe in it and in yourself.
The path we want to happen and be created the way we see it, is not going to always happen. We sometimes have to take a detour, but eventually will get back on track with experiences to help us stay on track and know when we are drifting.
Be patient with yourself and with your dreams.
