Dream Destroyers

As I try to plan my next career move to Japan, I can't help but notice all the people who doubt and distract me and try to discourage me. I can't say that they have been unsuccessful. I think, when people see that you are doing great or better than them or even accomplishing your own dream they'll try to tear that dream down, try to make you doubt yourself. I have been told to get a full-time job, to go get my PhD, but not one has encouraged me to get to where I want to go. It's very surprising that no one says, congrats on getting closer to your dream of making a difference in the refugee community. It saddens me that no one has asked me what my dream is and I have let all these others voices have an impact on what I do besides my own. Well, today those voices will be ignored. I'm dusting off that old dream and putting it in the forefront of my to-do list. I was worried before about not having enough money for my future, but who knows what that future is. And if I have God on my side, I don't have anything to fear. I'm not going to let distractions... other people, entertainment, family or friends to deter me any longer. I just pray that others will see and be encouraged and become dream builders.
