7 Times Drake told me to Dream Big and Push Through

I’ve always loved mix-tape Drake. Then he had me sold when he debuted his album Thank Me Later and so of course fell in love with his second studio album- Take Care. So it was ALL THINGS DRAKE FROM THERE!

What I love about Drake is that he’s no gangster and never does he claim to be. He is a lyricist, and a certified poet.

Now, if you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m a Drake Stan! And while he’s always leaving his heart on albums, while talking about failed relationships or a new love interest- his words and phrases hold extreme value, meaning, and can be super motivational.

I found myself listening to his album on a drive back from Charlotte this month and found myself reflecting. As I listened to his song “Elevate, I was inspired to share a few of quotes /phrases that has left me inspired in some kind of way.

These phrases are sure to inspire you and help you affirm things in your life for this year.

“Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.”
Simply put- Keep going. There are many lessons to be learned from the bumps in the road. Things that will allow me to be more appreciative of the destination.

“I might be here as a vessel to teach people a lesson”
I am here to pour into others. My life and circumstances are here to serve as an example not only for myself, but also for those who need it. God is truly making an example out of me.
^{-Western Road Flows}
“I learned working with the negatives could make for better pictures.”
I can overcome the road blocks. My negative experiences only make me stronger and are all sure to pay off big in the long run.
^{– HYFR (Hell Ya f*** right)}
“My desire to have it all took the place of seeing diplomas on the wall.”
Think bigger and beyond the diplomas. Those degrees are nice. However, as I strive to break generational curses, I should look to build generational wealth. My family having all that I’ve never had is super important to me and I should work beyond the degrees to do so.
_{-Loving the crew}
“I’m the man and I said that before I knew I was.”
Affirm everything and watch the world buy into it. Words are powerful and the power of my tongue will allow me to become the woman I desire to be.
–^{Underground Kings}
“These days I’m letting God handle things above me.”
Having the faith of a mustard seed enough to let go and let God is what I should train myself to do. He’s in control and he has the last word.

“Always felt like my vision been bigger than the bigger picture.”
The vision can be bigger than what’s in front of you so, dream big! And Keep your eyes focused on the goal.
