Guide Your Own Ship

Several years ago, I had a vision. A dream. Something I wanted to manifest in my life.

My dream was to make my child multilingual.

Very few people understood it and even fewer agreed with it. A whole bunch of folks thought I was crazy.

But the vision persisted. I couldn't shake it.

I saw myself with a child who spoke multiple languages.

Truth be told, there were times when I even wondered if I was crazy myself because:

1) I'm not multilingual.

2) My child’s father isn’t multilingual.

3) 4) & 5) My siblings aren’t, my parents aren’t, and none of my close friends are multilingual.

In other words, I didn't know ANYONE who had ever done what I was wanting to do.

But still, the vision persisted.

This dream, this desire to manifest something in the world that (up until that point) had only been in my head -- didn't seem to want to go away.

Until finally, I did it.

It was time-consuming and definitely not easy, but I did it. I made my dream come true.

My son, Raif-Henok (now 12 yrs old), speaks and reads French, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.

Here are a couple clips of introducing my husband and me during our European tour.

My Process:

I will dedicate future articles to the detailed steps that it took for my son to learn 4 languages, but today, I want to write about the power of following The Force Within and letting it guide you to your OWN vision, your OWN dream, and your OWN truth even when no one else gets it.

It was remarkable to me how many people tried to discourage me from pursuing my dream.

They had lots of reasons.

Some said it simply couldn't be done. Others said it would be too much work for me to keep up. And still others told me that my son would forever be "out of place" in our monolingual society.

None of these fears came true.

But this happens with so many of our dreams -- dreams to build businesses, travel the world, get an education, or start a family -- people try to talk us out of our vision.

There will always be folks who don't get your dream and who try to discourage you from pursuing it.

But here's the secret... it's not important that THEY get it. It's only important that YOU get it and that YOU follow it.

There's a meme going around social media that I love. It states:

Try This:

Do you have a dream? Want to build a business? Create an invention? Pursue an artistic creation?

Do you feel alone, like no one understands you? Do you feel like you are facing a sea of 'nay-sayers"?
