Growing up around places of obscurity where it was rare to see people achieve great success, while on the opposite, being born into a family of dreamers who made the impossible possible, I lived much of my life in great frustration. With my big dreams encouraged at home and many times under-encouraged or squashed outside, I had to work very hard on transforming myself, expanding my faith and endure pain to escape negative environments. Through this process, I saw many childhood dreams come to pass, realising later that I had taken a path of self transformation.
In this episode I share some of those childhood stories, experiences and transformations that lead to the place I am today.
Every single one of us has an incredible dream or vision within. Sometimes these great dreams and visions can seem so impossible to realise, that we convince ourselves out of them and continue to live an unfulfilled life.
God often plants dreams and visions in our hearts that do not match our current reality. These are previews into the greatest versions of who we really are and can become on this earth in this lifetime. A specially crafted purpose tailored for us personally, utilising our natural gifts and talents.
The weight of these dreams and visions remind us that we need God and it is through God’s power and a process of self transformation that we will become that person and live the life we see in our hearts and minds.
This earth journey is an incredible opportunity to transform at the deepest level and provides us with many challenges to push, shape and inspire us into miraculous growth and transformation.
These challenges hurt and can seem impossible to get through, making it easy to forget the goodness on the other side. But like a diamond that is cut and refined, sparkling more with each strike, if we hold onto our faith in the midst of challenges and continue taking the steps before us, we will reach the light at the end of the tunnel and see our dreams and visions become our living breathing reality.
“For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20-21
