Dream On!

The world belongs to the dreamer. Look around you for a moment. Everything you see started as a dream in someone’s mind. Nothing great is ever accomplished without a dream.

The key to your future is found in the dream you possess. It is a fact that if you will put action to your dream you can accomplish great things. Things that are lasting. Things that are beneficial to you and a blessing to others.

One reason many are frustrated in life is because they don’t have a dream, or have lost sight of the one they once had. People begin to exist instead of truly live when they are not pursuing their dreams.

King Solomon wrote, “where there is no vision the people perish.” There is no future if there is no vision. In order to become all that God created you to be, you must begin to see beyond what is, to what can be. See beyond the present. Catch a vision of you maximizing your potential.

Seven keys to pursuing your dreams:

Ask yourself this question, “What do I really want in life?”

Take time for personal inventory. Think back to when you were young. What did you dream of doing or becoming? What stopped you? Deep within what do you want to do? If money wasn’t an object what would you pursue? The answers to these questions is a sign of your real dram in life.

Maximize your potential.

Quit talking about what you can’t do and start talking about what you can do. Develop the talents that you have. Hone your skills through training and practice. Talents and abilities are of no value until put to use. Use what you have. Become the best you can be in whatever field you are in.

Maintain a positive attitude.

Never forget, your attitude determines your altitude. You will only go as high as you believe you will. Wash your mind of negative thinking. Refuse to be a “negaholic,” someone addicted to being negative. Train your mind to think positive uplifting thoughts. Begin to imagine again. Imagine how things can and should be.

Plant the dream.

Just as a seed is of no value unless it is planted, so a dream is worthless unless acted upon. Start doing something today that leads you to the realization of your dream. Don’t wait for the perfect conditions, they never come. Get started now doing something about your dream.

Nourish your dream.

Just as proper nourishment and fertilizer are essential for the growth of a plant, it is also true for the growth of your dream. Read books about your dream. Get all the information you can about your dream. Maintain positive relationships. Surround yourself with positive influences. All of these things will help nourish your dream.

Stay focused.

Don’t allow anything to distract you from your dream. Guard your dream with diligence. By concentrating on what you want to accomplish, you automatically move towards it. Be confident that you will realize the fulfillment of your dream.

Positively use your time.

Don’t be a time waster. Make every moment count. Maintain proper priorities. Learn to do one thing at a time. Don’t allow others to steal the time you need to accomplish your dream. Stick with your to do list until each task is completed.
