Watering your dreams

“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.” Lao Tzu.

My dreams are big at the moment, although I can’t say for sure what they are, I just know there’s something bubbling. I’m looking forward to seeing what the next step in God’s plan for me is. I’m determined to hang on to this hope and optimism – patiently (not my most well developed trait)! Rather than get bogged down in the details, and the everyday, that can suffocate dreams.

I know the rights doors will be opened and closed at the right times but I’m not going to sit back passively. I shall water my dreams with prayer and persistence.
