"I've heard it meaning of dreams stated that the first ingredient of success is to dream an awesome dream."
John A. Appleman
How often do you dream or aspire? What do you dream of? Why do people struggle to act upon their dreams? Is it worry of failure, insecurity of their skills or chalk it up to wishful pondering that holds them back? These are questions that my clients ask me all of the time. In return I offer, "Isn't it wonderful how people only dream of greatness?"
I've never heard of anybody dreaming of failure or aspiring to be unsuccessful. Failure does not play any part in dreaming. It's the dreamer that instills failure, not the dream. I've read of many very profitable dreamers that failed quite a few instances before they experienced success. The difference is that failure was not going to end their dreams only motivate them to dream bigger.
A lot of you fail to seek your goal in life and you should. You dream after which comply with it up with a list of all of the explanation why the dream is unachievable. You fill your life with excuses and "I can't." Many nice companies were conceived from a dream, nurtured in a storage or basement and grew to be traded on the New York Inventory Exchange. Why not you? Why not your dream? The one true limits you expertise in life are these you create or these you allow others to impose upon you. For those who can dream it, you can do it!
"Sometimes dream interpretation once we read the words of those that have been more than conquerors, we feel almost despondent. I feel that I shall never be like that. But they gained by way of step by step by little bits of wills, little denials of self, little inward victories by faithfulness, and in very little things. They grew to become what they are. Nobody sees these little hidden steps. They only see the accomplishment, but even so, these small steps were taken. There isn't a sudden triumph, no non secular maturity. That's the work of the moment."
Amy Carmichael quoted in: Tim Hansel, Holy Sweat, 1987,
Phrase Books Publisher, p. 130.
Dreaming is the easy part. Appearing on the dream is harder. Acknowledge that a dream is a journey. On the only level, it takes commitment, time, need, and courage. But rarely is one thing nice simply realized.
