Have you been told you need to dream bigger? I know we all believe we already dream. But you know what we probably are just dreaming small. I know when I think about this, I think about having enough money for food and bills. But isn’t that what we all want, or you just get told to get a better job. Well, sometimes that just is not possible.
Say you come from a small town and it don’t have great jobs for a person with little bit of experience. But, again most people still needs lots of money. No matter their skills. You would be lucky if you get minimum wage. Which actually isn’t too bad. Until you crunch the numbers and that just won’t cut it. You either need to cut things out or make more. Or maybe share rent with someone, and just squeak by still.
Ok, with that in mind it made me think. So I actually always wanted to be better than the life I came from. I knew I was always more, even having a mom and dad that survived Residential School. I was wanting to make myself so much more. No idea how to make that happened. Sure asked God to help me out, push me in the direction I needed to go. Cause I sure didn’t have the know-how on how to get it done. I even think about it all right now and I thought I was poor growing up, and I wasn’t. I was just told so many times that I believed it to be true.
My Dream Bigger
Is to have a big house for my kids and me, on a piece of land away from others. No worry for neighbors, no need to be quiet and no nosey people watching me. Or even a house with an extra house for my daughter and my grandkids. That would be a dream!!! So let’s go there. A house, a built-in pool, or even a pool house. Great furnishings inside my house also and even a media room. A big office for all my work stuff. Maybe even a couch in there to have a break when I need it. Overlooking the greatest view ever, big french doors, and a balcony.
I would even go as far as having someone actually set up my office so it would function. No cords hanging around anywhere and accessible. Dream office I guess.
My house all paid off and a bank accounts for all the bills for the house upkeep. All the income rolling in so I have no worries about finances. Which is my PBS business skyrocketing and having tonnes of students and teaching others what I have learned.
My family had all the food and clothes they could ever need. Anything they ever want or need would be fulfilled and no need to ever worry about money. The next one was to get a car, that is big enough to travel with my family. Go anywhere we ever want and stay as long as we want. Go stay in a hotel for a month if we want. Just go on our own vacation and get up and go whenever we want.
My Own Struggles
Cause I remember growing up, I struggled and never got new shoes until mine fell apart. I don’t want that for my kids. I don’t want them wondering if they were gonna eat today or not. Such as I did, there were days when I never ate, I only had just had a piece of toast for the day. Or even having to collect liquor empties to survive. Back then, yes kids could actually return liquor bottles or beer bottles. Yes, I remember not eating many times. Went to school so hungry, but I had to go to school. Was bugged for not having new school clothes, my parents couldn’t afford to buy me any or let alone feed me.
I always wondered was I meant to be here, cause my mom couldn’t even give me the necessities of life. And I never really understood why my life was like that. I do know now though, she had her own struggles in life. But she did the best she could with what she had. And I remind myself that she had me, and kept me. She didn’t send me away and let someone else care for me, even though she struggled.
So even though she never gave me new clothes or enough food to eat, she did love me. And I know my life is what I do not want for my kids or my grandkids. So I work like crazy to make this dream come true. Cause my Why is big and I know that. I do not want my kids to have to grow up as I did. Cause no one ever should.
I believe my dream bigger will come true as long as I know what my Why is and what I need to do to get there! Which I do each and every single day. Saying what I am grateful for each day, even something so simple as waking up to another day. I make sure these are what I quietly say each and every day. I suggest everyone do it and make it your daily habit!
