Let me start out this whole shebang with a little secret: I have no idea what I’m doing.

Okay, good. We’ve gotten that out of the way.

Now, I can introduce myself, this being my first post and all. My name is Madison, but some know me simply as Madi. I am a small-town Oklahoman girl, an aspiring author, a seventeen (and a half – it’s important) year-old music lover, and a Bible Believer.

 

I also believe in the capability to dream, do, and deliver. Now, I love to write. Unfortunately, that love has gotten me nowhere, and neither has the mere desire to publish a novel. You see, we all have shortcomings. One of mine happens to be that not-so-little, pesky voice we all seem to harbor in the back of our minds that tells us what we can or can’t do.

And no, I’m not talking about nagging parents.

If you’re anything like me, that voice –the Dream Eater, if you will – is often kicking your butt. Maybe you’re letting it convince you that you’ll never pass a math test, or hit a home run, or land that job. Or maybe it’s whispering that there is no way you could ever have enough confidence to start a blog, or talent to finish that gosh-darn novel.

Well, let me tell you another secret: you will never get rid of the Dream Eater forever.

You can, however, try. The wonderful thing about trying is that it can lead to anything. So what if you don’t pass the first test. Try again, maybe do something differently, and you’ll be set for the next one. The same goes for slamming that home run, or anything else you’ve been dreaming about. Sometimes you’ll fail. Sometimes you’ll let the Dream Eater win. But, when a dream meets a little bit of patience and a lot of do, it’s bound to deliver.

However cheesy it may seem, I’m here to confirm that you can, in fact, do the impossible.

There’s also one more thing I believe in: you.

Go get ‘em.
