I've been saying the same thing all week- it's about possible. If we plan for the 'what if' Instead of the 'possible' we're still using energy, we might as use it for 'it will happen'
Oh my Lord!! This is so on time with some of the things happening in my life. I have been really struggling with continuing to pursue a goal and finish getting my certification!! People are only halfway encouraging me. I realize that I need to encourage myself!! And just an FYI you are my go to for mental health needs. My therapist introduced me to you and we constantly go to your book. It’s our “Boundaries Bible”! God gave you a wonderful gift and a passion for helping us!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
This is what i needed at this very moment🤍 Perfect timing and beautifully written, Nedra✨ I am working towards a seemingly distant dream but it’s definitely possible. I will update you as soon as it comes true hehe
I appreciate this clear description of what it takes both personally and in relationships to dream big. I'm running into the situation where what I'm dreaming of goes beyond what people close to me see as possible. Your description puts the onus back on the dreamer without diminishing the need to find support.
I discovered your Boundaries Workbook and created a twice weekly zoom gathering with friends. We started in January and just finished last week. I wanted to let you know how much each woman (there were 14) was impacted by your work. Thank you for providing the platform for growth.
My dream was to move to Charlotte and continue to work with the disabled community. Little did I know that I got way more than I thought i would accomplish. I started a podcast and an SBA doing what I love 😍. I made friends who are now family, I got healing, I got emotional and various forms of freedom and independence I never thought I'd have ,went back to school early 30's and am apart of a global education work that is never to be done ever again that is shortly coming to an end with almost 9 million volunteers and more. The education I'm receiving at this stage in my life based on the goals and dreams I had regardless as to whether or not folks supported me didn't matter I either God's help accomplished so much more and became successful. And that success isn't based on money etc. It ls bases on true happiness keeping my eye simple on focused and all other thing's have been added to me. Plus I e always had the attitude that I'm determined to do something when I put my mind and heart dead set on it
Love the grandma analogy! 😂 It's so true – sometimes the people closest to us are the ones who have the hardest time seeing our potential. But like you said, that doesn't mean we should give up. We just need to keep believing in ourselves and keep taking those little steps towards our goals.
So true. Sometimes they feel threatened by us and want us to remain the same. Growing up the message was "don't get too big for your boots". If you think small you will remain small and never reach your potential. Thank goodness I never listened to how other's perceived me.
I did for, thankfully, a brief period of time. Then I learned how to not care. And it is amazing how happy I became, not having to live up to anyones expectations but my own.
I don't know how this newsletter managed to find me just when I was doubting my dream of pursuing an MBA. I'm a current aspirant and I'll be taking my exams soon in November. This helps a lot because as you mentioned, the statistics of probability can overshadow the possibility of it. Thank you for this important reminder ❤️

Love this! Here's to big dreams!!
I love the difference between possible and probable. This is a core message of mine. I live in then”is it possible” space.
This is great!
I needed this today! Thank you so much, Nedra. I love the perspective of "possible over probably." Writing it on a sticky note on my desk now!!

Nedra! You are so insightful! I’m so glad you followed your dream because you help me
And so many others daily. I look forward to your posts and emails!
Love this, thank you! As someone just starting I feel so encouraged by affirmation like this.
