Aspirations

The other day a friend of mine asked me what my life dreams are. I thought about it for a few seconds, and then said that I honestly didn’t know.

I shared with him that I used to have many dreams for my life but I lost hope after seeing the dreams continually shatter.

Not easily deterred, he said that he understood that but still wanted to know what I desired for my life.

After praying for a few moments, I realized that my greatest dream is never having anyone in my life that I’m unwilling to talk to or that I put up huge walls with, since you can’t limit loving the people that God puts into your life.

My other great dream is to show love towards others through my words, actions, and thoughts no matter where I am in the world or what I’m doing.

I want to be someone who makes time for others no matter what I have going on. I want to be someone who really listens to people and gives them my undivided attention. I want to be someone who asks the people I encounter how their day is going, and tries to make them smile. Above all, I want to be authentic.
