If there is one thing we, as bloggers, have learnt over the past year it is that given the chance we can make a huge difference. Sometimes the simple fact is that we look at our lives and ourselves as too small. Take a look around. There are some big problems out there and YOU could be doing something small to make a difference.
You’re not.
Ask the kids who have sponsors and the programs that have funding.
Ask Danimezza, who makes a difference for me and women in general every single day. She has the emails to prove it. There are loads and loads more. In fact every single person who wrote for the I Heart My Body campaign on We Heart Life. The brave women of the Post Natal Depression campaign too!
Why all this blog love in’ness?
I say all this to encourage you to do YOUR big thing. The thing that makes a difference to the things that matter to you. I want you to dig deep in your guts, where the hidden dreams are. I’m asking that you dream bigger. This works two fold. To change the way you look at yourself and to take the focus from yourself and onto others giving you less time to listen to that jerk voice of yours.
This series was a big dream for me. It was a lot of my guts on a page. I struggled with myself a lot writing this series. I struggled with the idea of being confident ENOUGH to write something like this. Even the idea of having to ask people to share it, to show it to their readers, to their friends was difficult. I’ve never so blatantly self promoted anything in my life, and maybe that was something to do with confidence in itself. I’ve exposed myself here, committed to something and hoped like hell it worked.
And now we are here, so near to the end, I’m proud of all that I’ve achieved so far. I am proud and so grateful for the emails, proud of the messages and notes and even the card in the MAIL {love that}. So thank you for joining in with MY big dream. Now go find yours. Maybe we can help you achieve it?
Daily Challenge: Dream bigger! Share what you would do if money, time and other restrictions weren’t a factor, if you could truly do, be or have anything!
Hi! I’m Suger and I’m the Chief Blogger here. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, build websites, write copy and create social media plans for people. This is my blog where I share my life and the things that interest me. It’s been living its best life on the interwebs since 2009.
THANK YOU for sharing your dream. Your advices are good and even if there are one or two which don’t fit for my life, most do.
First I thought this is a tough question and I need a lot of time to think about it but a little voice in my head said “No Nina, you don’t”. My dream is seeing the world, travel to as many places as possible and write about it. Tell the storys about countries, tradition and of people I met.
And the second one – which is really important for the first one too – stop beeing afraid of things which probably never occur.
You’re so welcome. There is something for everyone within them, and some that don’t apply at all. I appreciate you taking the time to read them all though. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing YOUR dreams. I think they’re wonderful and something I wouldn’t mind doing a little more of myself. Travelling and writing sounds divine.
If I had no limits I would foster children. I would love to work with children from broken homes. To be able to give them confidence and self respect. To get them to see they are worth something.
If not that I would really like to work with the homeless. I don’t think anyone should be without a home for any reason at all. Not just a house, or roof over their head but home. A place they can feel safe in. A lot of people are quick to tell the homeless to get a job, to stop taking drugs or drinking. I think what they fail to realise is it’s a tricky cycle. They can’t get a job when they can’t clean up for the interview, and they can’t keep clean if they’re living on the streets. They also can’t get a job without a bank account and you can’t open a bank account without an address. Oh the irony! I would love to be able to help these people because I can tell you, spend a night on the streets and it’s not a choice to stay there.
Awesome, excellent, wonderful dreams!! I can imagine you doing these things. Maybe there’s groups you can align your blog with or something like that to get you started? A heartfelt share, love your guts.
