While most people spend most of
their lives struggling to earn a living, a much smaller number seem to
have everything going their way.
Instead of just earning a living,
the smaller group is busily working at building and enjoying
a fortune.
Everything just seems to work out
for them.
And here sits the much larger
group, wondering how life can be so unfair, so complicated and unjust.
What’s the major
difference between the little group
with so much and the larger group
with so little?
Despite all of the factors that
affect our lives – like the kind of parents we have, the schools we
attended, the part of the country we grew up in – none has as much
potential power for affecting our futures as our ability to dream.
Dreams
are a projection of the kind of life you want to lead
Dreams can drive you.
Dreams can make you skip
over obstacles.
When you allow your dreams to pull
you, they unleash a creative force that can overpower any obstacle
in your path.
To unleash this power, though, your
dreams must be well defined.
A fuzzy future has little pulling
power.
Well-defined dreams are not fuzzy.
Wishes are fuzzy.
To really achieve your dreams,
to really have your future plans pull you forward, your dreams must be
vivid.
If you’ve ever hiked a fourteen
thousand-foot peak in the Rocky Mountains, one thought has surely come to
mind “How did the settlers of this country do it?”
How did they get from the East
Coast to the West Coast?
Carrying one day’s supply of
food and water is hard enough. Can you imagine hauling all of your worldly
goods with you . . . mile after mile, day after day, month after month?
These people had big dreams.
They had ambition.
They didn’t focus on the hardship
of getting up the mountain.
In their minds, they were already on
the other side – their bodies just hadn’t gotten them there yet!
Despite all of their pains and
struggles, all of the births and deaths along the way, those who made it
to the other side had a single vision: to reach the land of continuous
sunshine and extraordinary wealth.
To start over where anything
and everything was possible.
Their
dreams were stronger than the obstacles in their way
You’ve got to be a dreamer.
You’ve got to envision
the future.
You’ve got to see California while
you’re climbing fourteen thousand-foot peaks.
You’ve got to see the
finish line while you’re running the race.
You’ve got to hear the cheers
when you’re in the middle of a monster project.
And you’ve got to be willing to
put yourself through the paces of doing the uncomfortable until it becomes
comfortable.
Because that’s how you realize
your dreams.
