Love Vision Rule #15: Don't Give Up!

Rule #15: Don’t Give Up!

I just went to see “La La Land” the other night. OMG…It was spectacular!!! If you haven’t yet seen this film, I highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed! Hollywood is singing the praises of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. The film has received 14 Oscar nominations! CBSnews.com recently interviewed the director- 32 yr. old Damien Chazelle on the work that it took to make this film a success. Damien openly said in his interview that there wasn’t a lot of excitement about the film and it’s concept and that quite frankly there was no interest to be found. It took six years for someone to say yes to the project. Damien didn’t give up, he kept focused on his vision. He kept moving forward until his dream became a reality. Now his dream has not only brought in millions at the box office, but it has deeply inspired many other people to pursue their dreams.

Life is full of setbacks, challenges, heartache, and disappointments. Although, it is also full of love, joy, peace, laughter, and happiness. Keep moving forward and focus on the positive things in your life. Don’t let your challenges and struggles hold you back from moving forward to pursuing your dreams. Keep your heart and energy on “FIRE” and live an unapologetically passionate life! Keep moving forward, one step at a time. Even if you feel as though you’re only taking baby steps. That’s o.k. You’re still moving forward in the right direction that will allow you to fulfill your purpose.

Exercise #15-Don’t Give Up: Grab a pen and paper. Write down some of the challenges and setbacks that you’re currently facing that are holding you back from pursuing your goals, desires, or dreams. This could be in any area of your life. Write down what you feel is really holding you back. Then I want you to write down the goals, desires, or dreams and why they’re so important to you. Dig deep into your soul and write out why you’re passionate about achieving these things in your life. After completing this exercise, read over your answers. Focus daily on “WHY” you want to accomplish your goals. This will keep you energetically aligned to keep moving forward to pursue your passion and dreams.
