Do not allow people to hold you back from your greatness to justify their fear. 

   
Often on my radio show I’ve said “be careful of who you share your dreams with.” Some people in your personal circle may not be happy for you as you grow. Be it your personal, professional, spiritual, or financial growth, not everyone will be a cheerleader for your change or success. 

   
There are those people around you who may need you to “remain” and “retain” your current status because it benefits them at your expense. 

   
At 40, when you talked about going back to college to finish your degree, they said, “Why now? You’re too old.”  When you said you wanted to start your own business, they said, “Why? No one will give you a loan.”  When you said you wanted to kick your addiction, they said, “Once an addict, always an addict.” So be careful of who you choose to share your dreams with and know that your dreams are your passions, what makes you, you.  It’s what you believe you can achieve by your personal commitment to being who God intended you to be. 

   
Many people who have traveled this journey called life have taken their dreams with them to the grave because they lived their lives based on the expectations others had for them.  Pray about what you want out of life, surround yourself with people who will inspire, support, encourage, hug and allow you to cry if necessary, as you work towards accomplishing your dream.                       

Know that I’ve got my pom- pom’s and I’m not only cheering, but praying for you as well. And remember, no matter what it is you’re going through in life, “it’s all in divine Order!”
