Has anyone ever made you feel like your dreams are too far fetched, random or unattainable? Or maybe that you're reaching for too many dreams in this complex lifetime. It's as if people think we are simple, basic human beings.

However, a quote from the movie "Shrek" defines us perfectly! "We are like onions. Onions have layers. We have layers!"

We all have passions for various different things in life. Not just one plain old thing. So why do people make us feel as if we can't live a life that reflects all those widely unique dreams and aspirations?

I, myself, have a passion for fitness. I am currently a personal trainer, and have been for two years and I absolutely love what I do! Understandably, people always ask me if I'm majoring in kinesiology. I mean, that makes sense, but no. I'm double majoring in political science and criminal justice. I've desired to become a prosecutor since I was a young child. I've always known I wanted to protect people. I want to have a career where I got the chance to fight for something, and this passion lead me to law.

But does that mean that my passion for fitness comes first or even second? I'd arguably say no to that. Who said life must fit perfectly into a little box? If you have the passion, drive and pure desire to make your dreams come to life, then there is always a chance at not taking one path in life, but opening up various avenues to venture down.

For the last few years, I've made a decision that I will one day open up a bakery... and I know it's such different career aspiration than being a lawyer. However, I love baking and more specifically, taking unhealthy recipes and finding ways to make them healthy and delicious. When I'm cooking, it gives me this sense of fullness and freedom which is hard to fully explain, but it relaxes me. And I dream to share this passion of mine with the world.

So then, does my love for baking mean my passion for law and fitness fall to the wayside?

I can easily say, no!

No one has the right to tell me I can't achieve all my goals and dreams. Life on earth may not last forever, but we have the right to try are hardest to make all our dreams come true.

We have the right to live a life that makes us happy! This is America isn't it? We still have the freedom to express ourselves and be the person we choose to be. I urge you not to allow anything to stand in your way of even taking the smallest of steps in making those random dreams come true.

People ask me constantly why I'm planning to endure the hardship of law school if I want to open a bakery. And honestly, such a question offends me.

I don't believe anyone has the right to question my ability to make my passions and goals an attainable reality. People believe that I can't be a good enough lawyer if my passion lies else where. But what people don't see, is that passion doesn't flow in one direction. Passion bleeds throughout our lives, toward various directions and God gave me widely different talents with which I'm overly thankful and blessed to have. So why not make the best of all my talents?

God is the only one to tell me or anyone what we're meant to do or not do in life. And if God was to close one of those doors, then so be it, But until that day comes, I plan to fight passionately for all of my wildly different dreams. I will pray intensely through the journey and take small steps, one day at a time to make them happen. I truly hope you do the same! So remember that it's never impossible to dream for too much, because they're always achievable. No matter your age or how insane it may sound, no dream is complete until God closes the door. So continue to dream and fight earnestly for what you want, regardless of others opinions.
