June 27, 2026- Champions of our own dreams

Everything that has meaning is the result of struggle and sacrifice, and is worth fighting for.

~Michio Kaku

We are worthy of struggle. We are worthy of work. We are worthy of sacrifice. The dreams we hold dear to us are not going to just magically come true without intention and effort, but we are worthy of those dreams. The universe is worthy of the best version of us.

When we let our dreams die, we are making a statement that either we were never capable of realizing them or that they were not worthy of our effort. There may be people who think one or both of those things, but it should not be us. We need to be champions of our own dreams.

We do so much work for others. We are happy to support them. We feel good when we think we contributed to another's success. Can’t we feel that way when we help ourselves? Can’t we relish the role of facilitator? Can’t we lean into nurturing our own dreams? This is not purely a selfish act. The universe can benefit from the best version of us, just as it can suffer from anything short of that.

Be your own biggest supporter, your own best friend. Administer to your own needs the same way you would tend to a loved one. Create fertile soil for growth inside you. Build something inside yourself that has the capacity to struggle through everything we truly believe is worth fighting for.
