What Happened To Your Childhood Dreams?
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
What profession, career, or adventure did you dream of following?
I wanted to be a professional baseball player. I wanted to be firefighter. I wanted to be an actor. I wanted to be a pharmacist.
I thought – even dreamed – of becoming a missionary when I was younger. I remember hearing the stories of missionaries as they visited our church. They inspired me and captured my thoughts for days as I processed the possibility of this becoming a reality for me when I became an adult.
Those thoughts and dreams died – or at least lay dormant for a long time. The responsibilities of raising a family and paying the bills got in the way. The distractions of pursuing the American Dream diluted my childhood dreams to the point I forget my earlier hopes.
Maybe it’s time to rekindle those aspirations.
Don’t wait until it’s too late.
Act on your dreams!
