Your Dream Isn’t Dead—It’s Just Waiting to Be Found

Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions? You wake up, go through your day, but deep down… something is missing. That fire you used to have? That excitement? That sense of purpose?

You’re not broken. You’re just stuck. And the solution isn’t to settle—it’s to dream again.

The world has convinced us that playing it safe is the “mature” thing to do. That dreaming is for the young or the unrealistic. But that’s a lie. You were created for more—to live a life of impact, joy, and purpose that lights you up from the inside out.

Step 1: Reconnect With Your Childhood Dreams

Remember when you were a kid and someone asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” You had no hesitation. No fear. You believed anything was possible.

That wasn’t random—that was a clue from God. Before fear and doubt crept in, He planted seeds of passion in your heart. Go back and ask yourself:

• What did I love doing as a child?
• What made me feel free and unstoppable?

Those early dreams matter. Write them down.

Step 2: Follow the Breadcrumbs

Your life has been leaving you hints—little moments that made you feel most alive.

Ask yourself:

• What do people always compliment me on?
• What topics draw me in again and again?
• When did I feel the most fulfilled?

Proverbs 29:18 – “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

Your vision matters. It’s not extra—it’s essential.

Step 3: Face the Fear That’s Holding You Back

Let’s name the real dream killer: Fear.
It’s not always the boogeyman kind—it can be fear of judgment, failure, comparison, or not being “good enough.”

Fear whispers, “What if I fail?” But faith responds, “What if I fly?”

Picture this: a tightrope walker crosses a wire effortlessly, and the crowd cheers. Then he turns to you and says, “Now YOU get in the wheelbarrow.”

That’s what stepping into your dream feels like—scary, vulnerable, but worth it.

Write down one fear holding you back. Then ask yourself: What if I did it anyway?

Step 4: Activate What’s Already Inside of You

You don’t have to go searching for your purpose. It’s already inside of you—like a treasure chest with the key in your hand.

All you have to do is open it.

Take one small step this week. Apply for the class. Make the call. Start the project. Say the prayer.

You were created to live fully, not just function. The dream in your heart is not dead—it’s just waiting to be found.
