Is my dream really my dream?

I can truly say my dreams are my own. From an early age my parents empowered me amidst a family member insisting I seek a different career in the world of computers and technology. The key view was that I could make more money in that field. Despite my love for media and communications, I was considering it. 

I am grateful to my parents who knocked the thought out of my head by encouraging me to do what I am passionate about. I also had to be real with myself and know I didn't have the natural skill/desire.

John C. Maxwell reminds us, “you can not achieve a dream you do not own.” 

Think on your personal history. How have your plans, goals, and desires been influenced by others?
Are they a result of who your parents think you are?
Who others think you are?
Who you wish you were?

Or are they a result of…
Who you really are and are meant to be

BE SURE YOUR DREAMS ARE YOUR DREAMS!
