A few weeks ago, I set up an in-home date night for my wife and me.  The date was simple. I wrote out 10 questions to draw at random for us to share and answer. One of the questions was “What’s a deep longing or dream for you?” I drew the question, so my wife had to answer first. When she answered, it struck a chord because in that moment we realized that we’ve allowed so many things to take priority. Consequently, our dreams have been reduced and put on the back burner. Towards the end of that conversation, we looked at each other and vowed to own our dreams and not let anything hinder us from achieving them.

This episode serves as a call-to-action. For the 20-something year old, I want to encourage you to try new things. Don’t be afraid to fail because in those failures are priceless lessons. For the 30-something year old [my peers], I completely understand how difficult it is to work a 9 to 5 and carry the responsibilities of a household. In plain terms, it’s exhausting.  But you can never forget or let go of the things you truly want.

Key take-aways:

• Own your dreams and always feed them.


• Your friends may not understand your dreams but that is perfectly fine. Your dreams are designed exclusively for you.


• God has given you all the tools you need. You do not have to wait for tomorrow or next year - you are equipped now.

Reminder to the listener:

• Matthew 5: 15-16: Don't hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.
