Give Me A sign

I know this is not just my story but others too. I recently felt my mind and life was clogged. There was too much noise in and around me that suffocated me. Noise that did not make sense, it was more gibberish to me. I felt the crowd suffocating me and my safe place was my bed. It was silent and I could at least think and breathe or so I thought. But I also realized space was getting in closer. 

At that moment, I knew I needed a sign. It did not matter whether it was a small still voice or a loud bang. I needed a clear sign. This is not just my story. I know there are so many reading this that are crying for a sign, holding on to find some light. I can imagine a sign is needed to hold on to a job or leave it, a sign to ask that girl out. It could even be a sign to move to a new house or simply texting someone. Like me, it could be you need a sign to continue holding on to your calling and dream. 

My signs came in so many ways that I never thought of. In my quiet time, I realized my sign was written all over in the chats I read, the songs I mistakenly listened to, the Facebook memories. The message that I kept on getting was faith and manifestation. A conversation began with a mentor, then my book club members, and later a Facebook live from Dr. Wale. This was when I knew the universe was speaking to me. 

I know we ask for so many signs in different situations but allow me to speak to those who are holding on to a dream. Your sign is in the faith you hold. What do you tell yourself? Do you realize the mandate over your life? Do you realize your calling? 

Speak to things that are not as if they are. Put it on paper and start envisioning what you were first told. When it does not make sense and you feel you are too old for the job, too weak to stand up, and how long it has taken, look at what you put down on paper and push yourself to move. 

Do not be afraid of dreaming big. Do not be afraid of your dreams. Hold on to them. It is crazy until it happens and never doubt in the dark what you were told in the light. What do you tell yourself when you wake up? What do you tell your mountains? Do you have faith? 

Stop looking for signs from without, look for them from within. It could be your daughter's smile, your colleagues' statement. It could be in a song. In a busy world, find your quiet moment and get in touch with yourself, the signs are around you. You were not given a dream that would die before it started, you were given a dream to create a legacy. Signs are all over for you to see and keep the fire burning even when it is too hot. Speak life. Keep believing. This is your first sign
