Your dreams are not intended to be neglected

Don't clip your own wings

Your dreams are not intended to be neglected.

Don't tuck them away in the back of your storage closet.

Consider giving them some breathing space.

Make them feel welcomed.

They are small children of your soul.

Don't make them feel unwanted.

Don't let fears of failure, rejection, or ridicule prevent you from moving forward.

Your aspirations don't want to be suffocated.

They want to get out and fly.

Let them know -- they can.

Cast off the chains of fear that have held them back for way too long.

Let your ambition carry you forward on the white horse of your imagination.

Don't clip your own wings.

BE BOLD, be unpredictable,

The world is clamoring for more of you.
