The one thing we have is our mind…which dictionary.com defines as “the element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought.”
Similar to our brain with all of its intricacies, there is nothing like the mind. It can conceive, contemplate, visualize and create…Dream. Yes dream…the thing we often talk and hear so much about, but do we really believe all that talk or do we really hear what is said?
LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE IN THE WORLD TODAY
Sadness, sickness, anger and violence abound in the world today. Murder and mayhem are everywhere. People are fearful wherever you go. They hate their job, their spouse, their upbringing, their neighbor or their childhood experience.
No one seems satisfied as we rush to keep up with the “Joneses.” Marketing strategists sublimely hypnotize us to believe that we must have whatever they say is the latest and greatest item ever owned on this earth.
Needless to say, this has led to many people who are unhappy in their lives. They are finding that the latest and greatest is not fulfilling. They are finding life is tough and full of unanswered questions and the “Joneses” have their own set of problems.
As if that’s not enough, crime rates have led many to become anxious and fearful. People are worried to the point of placing chains and locks on gates and doors and security cameras all around their homes. The children can no longer play outside so they’ve been unwittingly convinced that electronic devices are more fun and socializing on social media is where it’s at.
WHO CAN DELIVER US FROM THESE THINGS? WHAT CAN WE DO? IS THERE ANY HOPE? DARE WE DREAM OF BETTER?
This is where that desire for change and dreaming takes place. This is where that one tired person makes a choice to CHANGE and make a difference in life…to find a solution to someone’s need…to find an answer to the clarion call of “HELP!!” Is it really that simple? No. But it IS possible.
First you have to realize that you want what you dream about. You have to decide that you want to make life better, that you want to be an influencer, that you want to have impact for good.
You have to personally decide that you want it because if you don’t then you will get lost when the fight gets hard and you will give up. You may become uncertain and unsure and the fears and doubts may assail you. It will become overwhelming and you may feel like giving up.
You have to decide that you want it…that dream to effect change; maybe in your neighborhood. Then you have to realize that you can have that dream. The reality of the power of one is a great influence.
NOW’S YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO DREAM BIG!!!
Once you decide you want it and realize that you can have that dream, you must aspire to attain it; set your hopes on that dream…And then make it happen!!!
We need people to make things better. We need people to make things right. We need people to speak truth to power. We need people to believe. That’s why our dreams are still important even today. We must never stop dreaming lest we lose our ability to conceive…to contemplate…to visualize…to create…to dream.
ARE DREAMS STILL IMPORTANT TODAY?
