Dare to Dream Bigger! Your Future is Calling.

Hello, My Joyful Trailblazers!

It’s your pal Jon the Encourager, bursting into your inbox with a heart full of excitement and a message that’s ready to shake things up. I’ve got a spark for you today that’s all about dreaming big—because you, my friend, were made for more. Ready to soar? Let’s go!

What’s Your Wildest Dream?
When was the last time you let yourself dream—really dream—without limits? Not the safe, sensible stuff, but the wild, crazy, “what if” kind of dreams that make your pulse race and your eyes light up? Maybe it’s starting something new, going somewhere you’ve never been, or becoming someone you’ve always wanted to be. Life’s too short to keep those dreams locked up in a drawer—they’re begging to breathe, to grow, to fly.

Here’s the thing: You’re not too old, too busy, or too anything to chase what sets your soul on fire. Those dreams aren’t accidents—they’re clues to the incredible future you’re meant to step into. And the best part? You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to start. One bold, messy, beautiful step at a time.

A Tale to Ignite Your Courage
Let me tell you about a guy named Leo. Leo was a mechanic—loved tinkering with engines, but his real dream was music. He’d strum his guitar in his garage, thinking, “Someday.” Years went by, and “someday” stayed a whisper—until one night, he took a chance. He played at an open mic, shaky hands and all. The crowd cheered, and a local café owner booked him on the spot. Now, Leo’s got a little stage of his own every weekend, living a dream he almost let slip away. “I didn’t think I was good enough,” he told me, “but I was wrong.”

That’s you, too. Your dream might feel far off, but it’s closer than you think—and you’re more ready than you know.

Your Joy Challenge This Week
Here’s my encouragement for you: Dare to dream bigger! Grab a pen and paper (or your phone—whatever works!) and write down one dream that’s been tugging at your heart. No censoring, no “buts”—just let it out. Then, take one tiny step toward it this week. Look up that class, make that call, sketch that plan. It doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be yours. You’re not chasing a fantasy; you’re claiming your future.

A Final Shout to Lift You Up
You were born to do big things, friend—things that scare you a little and thrill you a lot. So dust off those dreams, crank up the courage, and go for it. The world’s waiting, and I’m right here rooting for you, loud and proud. You’ve got a masterpiece in you—let’s see it shine!

With all the joy I can muster,
Jon the Encourager
