dream big: what to do if there was no limitations on you could do?

I was asked this question yesterday.

What would you do if you weren’t restrained by money, time, people? What would your dreams be if you could do anything in the world?

I’ve answered this question in another form during a small group icebreaker before. But I gave a trivial answer, something along the lines of  I wanna travel to ____ number of places, etc. But this instance needed a more, outlandish if you could call it that .. or visionary answer. It’s funny how the answer came right to my mind, that there was NO hesitation, but that it came right out of my mouth. It’s funny because now I realize how much these limitations, these material things are holding me back from my true desires. But that is a musing for another blog post.

I wanted to document that dream here, so I won’t be able to dismiss it as a passing desire, but have it stare in front of me, waiting for the day I can come back and write about how dreams turn into reality.

So my dream? What is it exactly?

to be in southeast asia working with girls enslaved in human trafficking, preferable in the aftercare process. using art therapy and skills training i want to be able to empower them & show them hope. that their lives aren’t defined by what happened to them, but by what they will do now that they are in reach of purpose and a life ahead. 

to bring light into the dark places,
that is what i desire to do.
