“Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths.” — Rumi
Imagine your heart as a vault, a secret, sacred space where all your deepest desires, boldest ambitions, and wildest dreams are living. And over time, life has chipped away at your beliefs in those dreams, and one by one, you started burying them deep in some corner of your heart. Each day, you come home with a new piece of evidence proving that your dream life is just that—a dream. And every time, you bury another piece of your dreams a little deeper in your heart.
There are people walking around with their hearts barely beating and I pray that you are not one of them. They’ve buried everything in it—their dreams, their hopes, their desires and they have put a lid on it. They’ve stopped believing in the possibility of realizing their true potential. Their hearts are broken, but not in the way they should be. They’ve given up on the very idea of breaking their hearts open and allowing their dreams to breathe again.
This April in The Reflective Circle journaling membership, we’re diving deep into the theme of dreaming big. And I’m inviting you, right here, to break your heart open. No more hiding, no more burying the things that light your soul on fire. It’s time to bring those outrageous dreams to the surface and allow them to be seen for what they are: a part of you that has always been worthy of manifestation.
It’s not about waiting for someone to make your dream life a reality. It is not about waiting for someone to approve of your dream. It’s about going to God—or the universe, if that’s your belief—and saying, “I’m ready. I trust that you will guide me.” Let’s throw those cards in the wind and begin scripting our dream life across all areas of our wheel of life: Career. Love. Health. Wealth. Joy. It’s all on the table.
Don’t hold back. Dream as big as you possibly can. Let your imagination soar. What if the wildest thing you could dream came true? What if the impossible was suddenly possible? What if the key to unlocking your destiny lies in your willingness to believe in it, to feel it, and to finally let your heart be the compass for the life you’ve always wanted?
It’s time to break your heart open, to unbury the dreams that have been sitting there, gathering dust. Let them rise to the surface, let them shine. And know that with each dream you allow yourself to embrace, you’re one step closer to creating the life that once felt out of reach.
For a whole month, I am inviting you to focus on what you want—not what you don’t want. We spend so much of our lives consumed by what we don’t want. This is the time to do it differently. Train your brain to think about your desires, your dreams, and the things that make your heart smile.
I challenge you to embrace this mindset today. And get ready to take part in my upcoming 5-day Dream Big Challenge. Grab your paper and pen, and let’s make your dreams a reality.
I will share more details tomorrow, stay tune.
And remember, Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. — Langston Hughes
