I believe that each of us has a dream placed in the
heart. I’m not talking about wanting
to win the lottery. That kind of idea comes from a desire to escape our present
circumstances, not to pursue a heartfelt dream. I’m talking about a vision deep
inside that speaks to the very soul. It’s the thing we were born to do. It draws
on our talents and gifts. It appeals to our highest ideals. It sparks our
feelings of destiny. It is inseparably linked to our purpose in life. The dream
starts us on the success journey.
A dream does many things
for us:
§ A dream gives us direction
§ A dream increases our potential
§ A dream helps us prioritize
§ A dream adds value to our work
§ A dream predicts our future
Oliver Wendell Holmes
noted, “The great thing in this world is
not so much where we are but in what direction we are moving.” This is also
one of the great things about having a dream. You can pursue your dream no
matter where you are today. And what happened in the past isn’t as important as
what lies ahead in the future. As the saying goes, “No matter what a person’s past
may have been, his future is spotless.” You can begin pursuing your
dream today!

Dare to dream and act on that dream.
THINK BIG.
START SMALL. GO DEEP.
