This episode is for those who’ve stopped pursuing a dream. Or maybe you never had the courage or support to dream. Or maybe fear is holding you back from imagining what’s possible. Langston Hughes once said, “Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.” A broken-winged bird that cannot fly. They are stuck. Grounded. Wishing they could soar. That’s a pretty vivid analogy of a person who lost the hope to dream. Here’s what I know…you can dream again. And for those who never ‘dreamed’ it’s never too late to start. So, why do we stop dreaming? For some of us, it’s fear. Fear of failure, fear of judgment, fear of the unknown. For others, it’s disappointment. Maybe you chased a dream once, and it didn’t work out. You got hurt, and now you think, “What’s the point?” — Want to connect? https://www.tamikacody.com/contact Want to take part in the Story of Survival series? Email your entry to [email protected].
