If you could do anything, if there were no limits, weather physical or mental, what would you do? I have always wanted to fly, or to have a supper hero ability which is probably the same with most guys. I have also wanted to be wealthy, to have more money then I could ever spend in a life time. I dream about the opportunities I would have to help other people and organizations even my own family. So if you could do anything what would you do? Forget about those elements that you think prevent you from achieving those things you want to do. I am telling you that there are no limits, there is nothing that can hold you back. Have you decided, and if so what is it? Say it out loud, right now shout it as loud as you can!! “I WISH I COULD…” “I WANT A…” “MY BIGGEST DREAM IS TO…”
Now doesn’t that feel good? It’s a brief state of relief, the people sitting at the coffee shop or at your office now know your dreams. They might even think you are a little crazy depending on what things you just shouted, but it still feels good.
Now I don’t want you to think I am crazy so I will clarify what dreams I am talking about. No, I don’t expect to be able to fly if I dream heard enough. There are some things that wont happen because there are other laws which forbid it. In this case the law of gravity would prohibit me from flying. I can however become a New York Times Best Selling author. I can transform my physical body into a well chiseled work of art. I can read 5-6 books a month and give myself the gift of knowledge and wisdom.
You may have already had some of your biggest dreams turn into realities. And at the same time there are most likely some that have yet to be fulfilled. Either way it is important that we dream because dreams are what fuel our souls. Our dreams are the visions that we align our futures with. Our lives are a windy hilly road, but with BIG dreams all we see is a vision of what we can achieve. With that vision our windy hilly road looks straight and flat.
The Bible tells us, ‘Without a vision the people parish.’ What a powerful statement, and what a great warning. Weather you believe in the Bible as the word of God or not you must believe that this statement is true! I can promise that the easiest way to parish is to not know what you want and how you will get there. You can not become what you have not envisioned. It starts with a thought, which becomes a dream, which then translates to a clear vision of things to come.
An important part of dreaming is having a distinctive ‘why’ in place. Know why you want that dream inparticular. It has to be powerful, and it must be an honest reason that will motivate you long after your passion and drive has faded.
Dreaming about what we want wont be enough to see these dreams become a reality. You have to take BIGGER Action! You must plan out your vision breaking it down into every day task that will lead you to the realization of that which you dream. If a vision or dream will keep you from perishing, then action will keep you from giving up.
My dream of becoming a New York Times Best Selling Author, is not going to happen if I just dream about it. If I don’t write at lest one book then it would be unlikely that this dream will ever become a reality. No, its not easy to write a book, and it probably wont be easy to take action throughout your journey of accomplishing your dreams.
I am sure that there has been times in your life were you have had a dream or vision. It was probably something that you dreamt and envisioned to the point that in your own world it felt like reality. I know I have, and for that to happen you must be dreaming big. So when I say that you have to take BIGGER action then you have to stretch yourself. You will need to push yourself harder then you ever have. Expand your mental attitude and take control of your physical abilities. New habits will need to be formed and old ones destroyed. Act as though your life depended on you achieving your dreams because it does.
If you dream, then you probably want some aspect of your life to change, and if you are not taking the action that is required for results, then your dream will parish.
Dreaming brings you to the point of confidence and conviction, confidence and conviction drives you to action, and action takes your dreams and turns them into reality!
Dream as though everything was a reality and act as though your life depended on it.
Your success is achievable only after your vision is believable.
