Confess Your Dreams

​Alexi Pappas says confessing a dream is one of the bravest things we can do. Because once we confess it, she says, we have to face the possibility our dream won't come true.

How many of us haven't said our dream out loud for fear of facing the reality our dream might not come true?

It makes me wonder, how many hidden dreams are out there?

Hidden dreams are a form of torture. They daily gnaw at the soul of the dreamer, and in a quieter and more unknown way, they torture the rest of the world. Because a dream come true doesn't just change the life of the dreamer, it changes the dreamer's world.

Your hidden dreams deprive you AND me.

It's easy to get caught up in wondering what will become of me if my dream doesn't come true. Maybe it would be helpful to begin wondering what becomes of the world if my dream doesn't come true.

What if our dream is something more than an outcome we long for; what if it's actually something the world desperately needs?

What if an answer we fear is an answer the world is waiting on?

For so many reasons, we can't afford NOT to confess our dreams.

So I encourage you, confess your dream, surround yourselves with the people who believe you can do it, then every day make choices that favor your dream come true.

Because we the world - we are rooting for you.

We the world - we need your dream come true.
