Dream Big While Still Enjoying the Little Things #fireworkpeople

First of all I have the opportunity of being a part of an awesome Facebook group of women entitled #fireworkpeople that is always encouraging me with some of the best dream big quotes which I have included in pictures below. There is so much encouragement among all of us to lift each other up no matter what may be happening. Ashley Beaudin started the group and is such a gift to all of us. She is constantly posting something uplifting or sending an email to each of us to let us know how special we all are and that we matter. I want to say thank you to all of them for their encouragement and a welcome to my blog especially for them.

I was invited to share my dreams and some encouragement for all of you so that is what I am going to do. When it comes to dreams, I truly believe in dreaming BIG!! If we do not see ourselves doing something and envisioning it, then we should not expect for it to ever really come true. So I have learnt in the past few years to see myself doing what it is that I want to do and believe that it will happen in the right time.

For me there are several dreams that I am constantly pondering on and praying about. Motherhood is a dream of mine that has been in my heart for many years. Something that seemed so innocent as a child playing house and baby dolls has always truly been the blossoming of a real dream. I have been married for about three and a half years though and I am just enjoying these moments and days. Everyone says everything changes when you have children. There is no need to rush my life along and always looking to the next thing. It is okay to dream but we also must live in the moment and enjoy each and every day.

If you have read any of my other posts, then you know that I am always encouraging others to enjoy the little things in life. We get so busy with the everyday demands that we forget to enjoy the chaos. One day I feel that we will look back and miss that daily chaos if we do not enjoy each individual day now which is why Mark and I truly try to enjoy these days of sitting on the couch cuddling and watching our favorite TV shows without being interrupted by screaming children. Don’t get me wrong. I would love to have children running around, but we should enjoy the moments we are given now. I do not want to look back when we’re older and our kids are grown and regret not enjoying the times we had together before they were even born.

There are several other dreams I hold dear in my heart that the Lord knows all about. In saying that, I want to encourage others that also have BID dreams, to not just always think that they will achieve great things once their BIG dreams have come true. If we cannot accomplish great things now in the little, then why do we even think that big things will come our way? We must always remember to live for the moment no matter how small and insignificant it may seem to us. First of all we do not know how much it may affect someone else no matter how small it may seem to us. Second the “small” things are what give us the time to prepare for the “big” things. I hate even using the title “small” and “big” because the small really becomes the big depending on how we react to it and spend that time. If we were given our dreams right away, they more than likely would fail because we are not ready and need more time. When the time is right to achieve our dreams, the Lord will bless us beyond measure and beyond anything that we can even think or imagine.

If you have been feeling down on yourself or that your dreams seem so far away, I hope these words have inspired your heart to keep working hard and lift your chin. The farther away our dreams may seem, the bigger and greater they will be in the end. So I leave you with these last words:

Live for the moment.

Don’t just dream; Dream BIG!!

Find joy in the “small” things and use them to accomplish greater things.

Enjoy the little things in life.

The pictures above are also all great quotes about dreaming big that you should feel free to write down and use for  yourself when needing a “pick me up.”

Please share below what your dreams are and what you can do now to accomplish those dreams. We can all encourage and assist each other in achieving those dreams.
