Dream it. Believe it. Do it.

What are you doing that people said you couldn’t do? Isn’t victory (and the journey along the way) sweet? For instance, people told me I was crazy to try and be an Actress, especially as a 30-year old single mother living in Portland, Oregon. But I had to try… because I had to know if I could do it! I couldn’t stand the thought of wondering “what if” someday.

So I finally declared myself and put my dream into action… and it has made all the difference to me and my daughter. She told me my greatest gift to her was watching me fight to make my dreams come true. She learned that it’s not about making money… but about doing what you love and figuring out how to get paid for it. She’s now living her own dream and I couldn’t be more proud!

What is it you would regret never having tried at the end of your life? Whatever that dream, or passion, or goal is… quit holding yourself back. Isn’t it time to finally commit and really see what you’re capable of? Don’t you want to know if you can do it? Let the fear of NOT doing it surpass your fear of actually taking the first step. Then simply… take a step. It’s that easy.

Show your kids by example that life is about not “settling” for less than wonderful. Teach them that everything is possible if you focus and work hard, and that they are powerful without measure. You are their most important role model, and this will be your greatest gift and legacy.

Dream it. Believe it. Do it.
