Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. – Harriet Tubman

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about change.  I need to make some changes in my life.  I want to make some changes.  I’m not quite sure how to implement the changes, but I know where they start.  They start with dreams, and dreams open doors to change.  The only problem is, my dreams seem kind of stuck and I’m not quite sure how to get them unstuck.

It sounds weird to say my dreams are stuck, but that’s the best analogy I can come up with.  I need to step up my dream game because it’s time for a change, and dreams open doors to change.  Why am I so hyped up on change?  Well that’s simple, without change, I truly believe that we’ll die. Maybe not a physical death, but an emotional and spiritual one.

So while my dreams are little bit stuck, I’ve come up with some little strategies to make little changes.  Now these are not earth shattering things by any means, but they are changes nonetheless.  I’m going to take a different way to and from work for a couple of days.  I’m going to change my morning routine.  Not too much because mornings are blechy, and who wants to mess with the blech.  I’ve started taking a short walk at night.  Short because it’s too cold to go too far still. And who knows, maybe those little changes will lead to bigger changes.

Little changes, but they’re getting me to think a little differently and they’re starting to help unstick my creative juices.  I know that I am capable of accomplishing amazing dreams.  Right now, I’m focusing on the patience to dream big again.  I will make the changes that I need and want in my life.  I will open the doors, and by making changes in me, I’ll be making changes in the world.  And if I can do it, so can you.
