Dare to Dream
As most of you know, having my own television show is one of those far-off fantasy dreams that I have been thinking about for a very long time (like nearly 30 years or so). However, it is also one of those dreams that seems, according to the great logic of life, like a one-in-a-million shot. A lot like winning the lottery.
However, I’ve come to understand that when life hands you an opportunity, it is not our job to decipher what about that opportunity is going to work and what is not. Instead it is only our job to take that opportunity and make the most of it… and then let fate decide what happens next.
So after much encouragement from those around me, I took the opportunity to make a video for the Oprah Winfrey Network and their latest contest of hosting your OWN show!
Believe me, this was a GIANT stretch for me. But I must say that after having uploaded my audition to the Oprah website I feel good. Not good like, “Oh for sure I’m going to win.” But good like, “Wow, that was something that was really scary for me and I did it anyway.”
The things in life that terrify us are the things we need most pay attention to. For it is in the midst of these acts of bravery that we uncover our soul’s depth and desire.
Who’s to say this audition will take me anywhere? No one. But you better believe I am currently celebrating my success - if only because I overcame the fear that nearly stopped me dead in my tracks. And if the process or the journey is really the only thing that matters… I’ve already won.
But to take things one step further outside of my comfort zone, I’m here now sharing my video with you. Because maybe it will spark a conversation or maybe you’ll simply think it’s neat. Or maybe, it will inspire you to vote for me on the Oprah website.
Whatever the case, thanks for watching and for being a part of my journey…
