This summer has been one of the greatest yet hardest, most self-discovering, self-evaluating, and mind-shaping summers of my life. I have been praying the words of the Hillsong song "Oceans" into my life for the past three months. I will be the first to tell you, be careful when you pray things like that - it will happen. I have watched God answer that prayer in the past month, especially, as I have been evaluating my life and wondering "how is it that I chase my dreams?" and "What does hard work look like?" (I feel like a lot of our generation has forgotten the importance of hard work).
As I evaluated, I began to realize that I was the only one holding me back. Only me, myself and my fears can hold me back from the dreams that are in my heart.
With that, I know that in order to follow my dreams I have to work hard. I'm still not sure what exactly hard work looks like, but I am willing to find out. Every dream has to start somewhere. . .
So, here's to the start of chasing dreams. Go out and find them and work towards them. Live with no fears and no regrets. Live your dreams!
