But is it so self-serving to focus on your desires? Because in reality, what you can’t give to yourself, you take away from others.

Now, this might seem backward. However, look at when you are tired and not well-rested. What comes out of you?

Your emotions lead the conversations and your actions follow. And most of the time, it’s from a posture of “less than”.

“You cannot give what you do not have.” ~ Kristianne Wargo

Therefore, leaving your head overwhelmed and your heart empty. This is the beginning of the death of your dreams.

Yet, hope still abounds. You can take what you need without sacrificing that which you want to give.

But it takes a heart of gold to surpass the tarnish which has built up over time.

Take A.I.M. on what matters and spit-shine your dreams.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Spit-shine your dreams!

You may not want to hear this, but great things take time. I remember when I was a little girl, and my Dad would sit at the end of his bed or at the table, and prepare his shoes. It was all about the spit shine. And I could never understand why he spit on his shoes, yet they always looked so snazzy.

However, you have to have that heart of gold that is willing to s.p.i.t.-shine.

1. SUSTAIN what’s yours to have. Give yourself permission to reach for the stars. The dream that’s been placed in your heart is there for a reason. So don’t give up even during the toughest season. Keep that dream alive. Sustain what’s yours to have.
2. PREPARE what matters on a daily basis. You can’t get to where you are going unless you have the destination in mind. Get your stuff together! What you do today impacts your tomorrow.
3. INITIATE the process. The goal here is to secure what matters by taking the necessary steps to get to your destination. “One step at a time leads to miles of greatness.” ~ Kristianne Wargo Once you have prepared, now you take A.I.M.! It’s literally doing the next step — taking your planning and preparation to the next step.
4. TACKLE your hesitations. Here is where you go after what is yours to gain by not allowing your mindset to sabotage that which is yours to claim. Keep your thoughts and emotions in check. What you believe in your heart you wear on your sleeve.

Let your generosity for yourself guide your actions in reaching for the stars. This is your dream to keep!
