What's YOUR Dream?
Have you ever been asked, “What's your dream?” If so, how did you answer? Have you ever really thought, "I would love to ________!" What is holding you back from accomplishing your dream? So many times we make excuses on why we can't (time, financial situation, kid activities, etc). I encourage you to make your dream happen. You only live once and if you always makes excuses, then YOUR DREAM IS NOT A PRIORITY!
