Dream Big

I woke up yesterday feeling a little discouraged. There is just so much going on in my life right now. I have 2 kiddies graduating (grade 6 and grade 8), I am going to my parents for a week at the end of June, the kids are going away for all of July, I have classes until the middle of August, I have a licensing exam to study for (800 pages!), and I need to find a job. 

Through all of that, the only thing I keep thinking about is starting my own practice. I have so many dreams for the future. I want to grow a firm. I want to have a well-off business so I can donate to charities and sponsor events. I want to create an Award that goes to the Ignace High School Grade 12 graduate who is pursuing a career in the legal field. I want to have an Award for the graduate of the Paralegal program who has a great attitude and is planning on opening their own practice. 

I want to buy a house, have a new car with my business decal on it, and, eventually, have a corner office in a high rise. 

To name a few. 

Yes, I have a lot of dreams. 

Yesterday morning all those dreams were faded into the background. I felt like there was no hope of any of those dreams coming true.

Throughout the day, I heard 2 songs that shook me out of my hopeless dream world and back into the "I Believe I Can Fly" world. (That was my grade 12 theme song... 18 years ago)

First was "What Are You Waiting For?" by Nickelback

Then came "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten

"This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And, I really don't care if nobody else believes

Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me."
