Patricia Bokowski, would there be any point in giving you the gift of imagination, the freedom to think as you choose, and dreams that set your soul on fire if even a single one of them couldn’t come true?
I think not.
I love you too, too much.

I’m with them!
Think of this blog.
As my love-letter to everyone.
Who has a dream they want to pursue.
Only they haven’t taken that first step.
Yes, you know who you are.
To all the people contemplating their dream.
Because.
Thinking about it.
And, actually starting it.
Are two different things.
But, as I always say.
I highly recommend it.
If you have that thing.
That little/big earing in the back of your head.
The thing that says: I want to do this.
For the rest of my life.
Then by all means.
You should do it!
One thing that I’ve noticed.
Over the years.
Is this.
People are way too quick to jump ship.
When things get tough.
So, I’m going to tell you right now.
They will be tough.
Like, that’s not even a question?
It comes with the territory.
You just have to buckle up.
And figure out how to keep going.
Remember.
This is YOUR dream.👈👈👈
Not anyone else’s.
Yours.
And yours alone!
So guard it safely!
And I swear to God.
You will have to find a way.
To make it work.
It’s not just going to happen!
Trust me!
Here’s the thing.
About pursuing your dream.
And I can tell you.
Because I’ve been through it.
Many, many times.
There are so many people.
Who will dismiss YOUR dream.
Tell you that you are crazy.
Give you sh*t.
Ignore you when you talk about it.
Tell you to get a real job.
Remind you.
How impossible it will be to make happen.
And on and on and on.
My advice:
Don’t talk to these people about your dreams.👈👈👈
These people are dream-killers.
And.
You don’t need their negativity in your life!
So again.
If YOU have a dream.
That YOU want to make happen.
Do not let anyone or anything.
Get in your way.
AND.
A great way to start.
Is, to actually start.👈👈👈
Yes!
You actually have to start!
Second.
Don’t talk about your dream.
To anyone who doesn’t fully support you.👈👈👈
Because nothing will bring you down quicker.
Is someone telling you.
It’s not going to work.
Never gonna happen.
You’re wasting your time.
Blah, blah, blah.
Seriously.
Choose wisely.
Trust me.
Been there.
Done that.
As I’ve written about many times.
When I first started my business in 2012.
I had no idea what I was doing.
I just knew.
I wanted to do it.
So, with sheer determination!
And a shi*t load of confidence.
I did it.
And, I learned along the way.
That’s how it works.
That’s why they call it a process.
You don’t learn everything in a day.
You plant seeds everyday.
And you harvest them.
WAY down the line.
Like, way, way down the line.
This is not a sprint.
No, you are in this.
For the long haul.
I love that one!
It’s all about your mindset.
Yes!
Just remember.
You can do whatever you set your mind to.
Tell yourself you can move mountains.
And watch, as you start to do it.
The Universe is always listening.
As well as your brain and body.
So, keep giving it positive reinforcement.
By thinking positive thoughts.
And by saying positive affirmations.
Yes, I’m big on affirmations.
You never know who’s listening!
I’m with them!
Here’s a little advice.
That I have learned the hard way.
And I know.
It may sound a tad dramatic.
Only, it’s not.
Over the years.
Since I started my business.
I have been tested beyond measure.
Like.
BEYOND measure.
And every time.
It’s happened.
I picked myself up.
Dusted myself off.
And went right back at it.
And, if you find yourself.
In a similar position.
I highly advise you to do the same.
Like I said.
We don’t quit.
We are in this for the long haul.
At the end of the day.
What it really comes down to.
Is simple
You have to keep going.
Until.
You get to where you want to be.
And then.
Once you are there.
Go even further.
The point is.
NEVER stop!
This is a one-way ticket.
No getting off.
Consider this if you will?
Whatever ‘this’ is to you.
Is your gift to the world.
And, you can’t stop.
Until you’ve shared it.
With EVERY blessed soul on this earth!
And, here’s another thing.
Don’t wait till the time is right!
To start!
Because.
There is NEVER a good time to start.
So just start.
With what you have RIGHT now!
Wherever you are right now.
Just start.
And, if you think you don’t have enough.
Enough of whatever it is.
That you think you need.
Trust me.
You have it.
You just aren’t looking hard enough.
This whole following your dream thing.
Calls for you to be extremely creative!
I made a TikTok the other day.
It was pretty simple.
This is what I said:
“You cannot speak Butterfly language with Caterpillar people.”
See.
You just can’t!
So, my advice.
Don’t force it.
They are either Butterfly people.
Or, they aren’t.
