Motivation: Don't Give Up! You May Be The Carrier of Another Person's Dream

Feeling like throwing in the towel, hanging up on your vision? I encourage you to hold on a little while longer. You may be the carrier of another person's dream.

Almost 2 years ago when we were pregnant with our 7th child we were hoping that we'd have another son so Joshua would have a brother. But somehow the intensity of the desire for a son this time was not there for me like it was when I decided we were going to have a son then.

Even though we all agreed that we wanted the baby to be a boy, except for our youngest daughter Alexandria at the time, I felt an inner knowing that I should 'take my hands off' this time. I felt that I should just let go and allow things to unfold. I expressed how I felt inside but left it at that to see how things turned out.

You see when we all got together and agreed for a boy, Alexandria was the only one that strongly disagreed and even went into tears because she really wanted to have a baby sister. We tried to console her but the strength of her desire embedded deep in her heart.

A few months later the ultrasound showed a cute little chubby cheek baby and yes it was a little girl. Alexandria got her heart's desire and as we drove away from the hospital we broke the exciting news to her and came up with the name Roxella. Alexandria named her Julee as well.

Even though I carried the baby, Alexandria had the dream for a baby sister and we all shared in the joy of having this beautiful little girl come into our lives. Her home birth truly was a remarkable and memorable experience, not only for us but for one of our neighbours that we invited to come over to help us until our midwife got to the house. That's how fast the birth happened and Dad caught Roxella as she zoomed into our lives. A moment he'll forever cherish.

You know, you may also be the carrier of another person's dream. Don't give up because you'll share in the joy of it. That person may not be in a position to hold that dream and bring it to fruit but what they have may be a strong definite burning desire, like Alexandria, to see that dream given life.

You may have the knowhow, the experience, the maturity, the foresight, the skill that the other person lacks and you can add and enhance their life. You may even be the one to care for this dream even after the dream manifests like I care for Roxella. Alexandria gets to have fun and play with her baby sister as do her other sisters and brother - many helping hands.

What say you? Still feel like giving up or will you give it another go and stay in even through the rough waters and discomfort until the season of harvest comes? Trust me; you'll never regret you did!

Sunday Morning Quote of the Day - Don't give up, you're not defeated

As long as a person doesn't admit he's defeated, he is not defeated-he's just a little behind, and isn't through fighting. Darrell Royal

I found this really cool quote and I thought I'd share it this morning.

As long as you've got life in you, you can make it. Even though you may be lagging behind, as long as you don't throw in the towel, you still have a chance to reach the finish line. Let your gaze be completely on your goal as you move ahead and don't become preoccupied or carry on idle conversations with your doubts, disappointments and limitations. These conversations only take up mind space and interrupt your creativity to create the life you desire.

Rest if you must, but get back in there and keep on keepin' on. Every road block we encounter is an opportunity to learn to use our creativity to advance to the next level. The key is to look at each set back from a positive angle. Sometimes we become so distraught over the loss of an opportunity, not knowing that a better one is up ahead.

Always keep an open mind to the way in which your desire is manifested to you. Never give up on your desire, but if in the event you don't see it coming in the manner you expected, be open to embrace it. The Universe has many ways in which to bring us what we desire, allow the universal wisdom to abound in all your decisions. Say, "I'll have this or something better."

As long as you keep holding on and act on your inspired ideas, you will manifest your intention.
