The Power of Dreams: A Journey Through Loss, Love, and Purpose
This past week, I said goodbye to my father-in-law. Just a year ago, I lost my father, and a year before that, my mother. These profound losses have left a permanent mark on my heart, but they’ve also revealed something else: the undeniable importance of following the dreams that refuse to let go. ✨
Through the grief, I’ve found clarity in my purpose—a dream that continues to grow stronger with each passing day. It’s the dream of working with leaders to create businesses that truly make a difference in the world. The kind of businesses that don’t just seek profit but aim to do good, lift others, and leave a lasting impact. 🌍
The Gift of Time and Presence ⏰
One of the greatest blessings I’ve had during this time is control over my own time. It allowed me to be there for my loved ones in their final days, to hold their hands, share stories, and say goodbye. It’s a gift I wouldn’t trade for the world. 💛
This flexibility has also let me volunteer at a local food bank, where I’ve gained a new depth of compassion and insight into the struggles that so many face. It’s given me the space to connect with my daughter in meaningful ways—like helping her fulfill a lifetime dream of seeing Taylor Swift live in concert 🎤, and spending a week visiting her in San Diego, making memories that will last a lifetime.
Why Dreams Matter More Than Ever 🌟
These experiences have only reinforced why it’s so crucial to pursue our dreams. Dreams give us purpose; they drive us to grow, to give, and to make the most of our time. When life reminds us of how short and unpredictable it can be, we realize that our dreams are not just about our own fulfillment—they’re about the legacy we leave behind. 🧡
For me, that legacy means helping others create businesses that don’t just succeed, but also make a positive impact. It means guiding leaders who share this vision, who want to use their talents to build a better world. And it means being present for my loved ones, learning new things (like my latest endeavor—golf! ⛳), and making time for the moments that truly matter.
A Challenge for You” 🧠🏆
To everyone reading this, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on your own dreams - please share.
What is it that won’t let go of you? What vision keeps coming back, even in your quietest moments? Life is too short to let those dreams fade away. Embrace them, pursue them, and let them shape your journey. 🌱
Together, we can build a world where more businesses, more leaders, and more people are driven not just by what they can achieve, but by what they can give.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Let’s keep dreaming, and let’s keep making a difference—one step at a time. 🙌
