Setting Your Sights

"Set your sights on a place higher than your eyes can see" -Rumi

It's the end of my junior year of high school and my head is exploding with huge ideas. I'm at a point in my life where I have a million amazing things I want to do and a burning desire to do all of them. So what's holding me back?

Time.

In my head, I doubt that I'll have time to physically do it all. College applications and auditions, fitness goals, starting my own business, a new job, and travel aspirations are just a few of the things on my mind. I'm about to be using three planners at a time- no joke.

This lack of clarity around the idea of how I will meet my goals has begun to create a fog of self-doubt inside of me and has led me to consider giving up some of my dreams because I seem to have too many.

Ever since I was a little girl, I've wanted to grow up and be like Barbie-- having a million different jobs that she loves equally and succeeds at, all the while having time for friends and fun and fabulous pink fashion. As I get older, this gets more and more desirable and less and less feasible.

But I have come to a realization: what is meant to be will be. My job is to do everything I can to follow my dreams, because Philippians 1:6 says it plain and simple:

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Step one is to dream big, set your sights, and get to work--trusting that everything will work out for the better.

So if you're struggling with self-doubt and worry about something you need to do (or a bunch of different things, like me) here are my final words to you:

YOU CAN DO IT!

Set your sights high & see what happens.
