Dream Stealers.
Here are 2 questions to sit with this weekend.
Question 1.
When you were 10 or 11 years old,
What did you believe you would become, do, or achieve?
Not a hope.
Not a wish.
A belief.
At that age, everything felt possible.
There was no doubt.
Only certainty.
So what was it?
And has it changed?
If it has, ask yourself why.
Question 2.
Who were the biggest dream stealers in your life?
Parents trying to protect you?
Teachers pushing “realistic” careers?
Friends projecting their own limits?
Society rewarding conformity over courage?
At some point, someone questioned your belief.
Dismissed it.
Warned you off it.
And slowly, certainty turned into caution.
Belief turned into practicality.
Dreams turned into compromise.
Here is the uncomfortable truth.
We often blame externally.
But if you are not living your dream today,
The person who ultimately stole it was you.
Others may have planted the doubt.
But you accepted it.
You carried it.
You lived by it.
And yet.
Look at the evidence.
He co founded Paul Mitchell in 1980 at age 36, while living in his car and essentially homeless.
This was not youthful luck. It was late belief, backed by grit.... Net worth $4BILLION
He began franchising Kentucky Fried Chicken seriously at age 65.
After bankruptcy, rejection, and failure after failure.
Most people are planning retirement at the age he started.
30,000++ restaurants in 145 countries
Empire now worth $20BILLION
She entered fashion design at age 40, after failing to make the Olympic skating team and leaving a long career at Vogue.
She did not “pivot early”. She began when most people think doors are closing.
Estimated net worth of over $600 million.
It was never too late for them.
And it is not too late for you.
Let us be clear:
Dreams do not expire.
Belief does.
So here is the call to action.
Stop blaming the world.
Stop rehearsing the story of why it could not work.
Stop protecting a life that does not fulfil you.
Take your dream back.
Reignite it.
Deliver it.
And if you need help,
My mapping system works.
Drop me a note.
