DARE TO DREAM BIG DREAMS

Never be afraid to dream big dreams. Be bold and allow your thinking to get way out there. Take a step outside the norm, where most people fear to tread. I should caution you that this time of dreaming big is not yet the time to share with others. Some people tend to be dream stealers–thieves who shoot down and attack other people's goals, passions, and possibilities. You certainly don't need that kind of interference in the beginning.

When you are dreaming, allow your mind to take that leap into the realm of the impossible. Believe you are capable of anything your heart and mind can agree upon. Do not second-guess yourself. Do not doubt your potential, and remember that every one of us has a great wealth of potential that is often lying dormant and just waiting to be tapped.

Once you have done some dreaming, take time to clarify your dream by writing or typing three or four paragraphs to hold it out in front of you and see it in black and white. Read what you have written, and look at it from as many perspectives as possible. When you believe your dream is sound, and you are clear in your mind about what you want and what it will take to get what you want, and you know you have a real passion for achieving this dream of yours, then go ahead and share your it with someone that you trust, respect and/or love. Give them a copy of your specific dream and enlist their cooperation in holding you accountable for the fulfillment of your big dream.

Of course, you could always opt not to dream big dreams. Or you could dream big dreams and never act on them. After all, the status quo is pretty easy, isn't it? No harm may be done at all if you fail to dream. But then again, you never know what you or the world might miss if you don't.
