Have you ever tried on someone else’s glasses?
If you have, you know what happens, everything is blurry, off-center, and disorienting. You might even get a headache trying to walk around in them. That’s because eyeglass prescriptions are unique. They’re calibrated to the person wearing them, designed specifically for their eyes, their focus, and their way of seeing the world.
And just like those lenses, your dreams, your visions, and your ambitions are built specifically for you, they were given specifically to you…
It is drastically important to understand and remember that you were given your dream for a reason. Your dream is yours to do with what you choose. Whether you believe it came from God, the universe, your inner soul, or a combination of all three, it didn’t come by accident. It wasn’t handed out randomly. It landed on your heart, in your spirit, and in your imagination for you to nurture, protect, and bring to life.
Too often, people treat their dreams like something they need approval to actually take action on. They show their ideas to others and wait to hear a response, “That makes sense,” or “I can see it.” This may work for others but who are you? But when that validation doesn’t come, when people respond with confusion, doubt, or indifference, they shrink back. They assume the dream must be unrealistic or flawed.
But here’s the truth:
They can’t see it because it wasn’t given to them.
It’s like handing your custom glasses to a friend and asking, “Do these work for you?” Of course they don’t. Because they weren’t made for their eyes.
Your dream, your business idea, your book, your vision for your life, your desire to help others, your hunger for freedom or impact-was made for your mind, your hands, your heart. Nobody else can vision it, fully grasp it, because nobody else has your lens. They don’t have your past, your abilities, your perspective, your passion, or your purpose.
This is why so many dreams die: when dreams are handed or pushed into the hands of people who were never meant to carry them, or people that cant clearly see them, they can’t complete them.
So, I suggest, stop looking for others to see what was meant for you alone. Instead of seeking validation, seek clarity. Instead of asking permission, Take action, make a plan and go.. Instead of explaining your dream over and over, start building it. As to telling people about your dreams, show them how it looks at the end.
Because the more you walk forward, the clearer your path becomes-for you. And over time, others will see the results of your vision and say, “Now I get it.”
But it didn’t start with them, or their approval. It started with you and your idea, your vision.
Here’s the hard truth and or the beautiful facts:
Fact Is: Your dream is your responsibility.
It’s yours to chase. Yours to cultivate. Yours to grow. Yours to protect.
And when it finally becomes real, it will be yours to enjoy, your reward.
Or not. You do not have to chase that dream, cultivate it. You can always just sit back and do nothing. Either way you will get the reward that you chose to get at the end.
So, protect your special lens. Tune out the noise. Not everyone was meant to understand what lives in your heart. But your dream was handed to you and you were meant to live it.
Keep dreaming. Keep believing. Keep building. Your dreams reality is out there, it is possible to obtain it, with effort and desire.
Remember, the world may not see your dream yet, but they will when you build it.
And when they do, it’ll be because you refused to give up, or give in. you chose to never take off the glasses, the ones only you were meant to wear.
