As I write you, I am coming off of an insane couple of weeks. I have been so busy and I have been traveling quite a bit. I hope you are focused and moving forward with your goals. The summer is moving really fast and this is the time of the year that most people start to slow down. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with taking a break. On the other hand, you cannot pause your life and expect to reach your greatest potential. The last few weeks have been awesome for me and I have learned so much. I am sure that I will be sharing more of the lessons and wisdom I have gained over the next few weeks. Remember to make every moment count and to master every season of your life. You are responsible for the realm that you live from!
Are you a dreamer? Have you allowed dream killers to kill your dreams? What would you accomplish if you dared to dream bigger? If you know me, then you know that I am a dreamer. One thing I know for certain is that dreamers often get in trouble. I have been called too ambitious and I have even been accused of lacking focus. In addition, people have laughed at me for believing that I can change the world. Those kinds of things once had the power to move me and discourage me. However, as I became established in my dream the opinions of others were no longer important to me. One of the greatest things you can ever do is become a dreamer. It is not enough for you to dream but you have to have the courage to act on your dreams. Dreams often unfold in stages. Unfortunately, most people never reach the first stage because fear stops them from taking those first steps. You do not have to have the complete vision but you must have the courage to act on the dream that is in your heart. Small steps often propel major breakthroughs in your life. Take a step of faith in the direction of your dreams!
So many people have allowed dream killers to kill their dreams. As a dreamer, I have learned over the years that you have to be very careful who you share your dreams with. You should talk up and not down. What does that mean? You should only share your dreams with those that have the ability to help you advance. Stop sharing your dreams with toxic and negative people. Some people do not believe in you and desire to see you fail. Discern the people that you should share your dreams with. Know how to work in silence and allow your results to speak for you. Often times in excitement we share our dreams with extinguishers. You need to share your dreams with encouragers. Encouragers are those that believe in you, build you up and help you give birth to the dream that is in your heart. Do not share your dreams prematurely or you will delay your promise. You need the right people around you in order to reach your greatest potential. Those that dishonor your dreams should be displaced from your life. Do not tolerate those that belittle, criticize and mock your dreams. If you do not honor your dream, then you should never expect others to honor your dream. The same people that laughed at me and told me I was crazy are now some of my biggest supporters. I was audacious enough to believe that I could make a difference in the world. Guess what? Now God has given me a platform to do that every single day of my life. Work hard in silence and often your doubters will become believers. You do not have to prove your dreams to anyone. All you have to do is persist until the dream is realized!
Every human being has the ability to dream. However, not every person dreams. I am proud to be a dreamer. It has brought skeptics and cynics but it has also produced incredible results in my life. I’ve been fortunate to reach people all over the world through my life and work. When you become a dreamer you have to continue to stir the dreamer within you. How do you stir the dreamer within you? You stir the dreamer within you by dreaming bigger dreams. In other words, do not be content with just one victory or one win. No, challenge yourself to do more and be more. Raise your expectations and raise your efforts. The reality is that we are capable of so much more. Often times we just lack the courage to move beyond what is comfortable and convenient in our lives. Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone and start dreaming bigger. You were not made to live a contained life. You were born to live a cutting edge life. This is your moment to see further, dream bigger and think higher. The possibilities for your life are endless. Your dreams are not limited by your circumstance or environment. Your dreams are only limited by your belief.
In closing, I am stirred up about this topic. Too many people have settled for a safe life. It is time to raise your expectations and dare to live an extraordinary life. You are victorious and it is time to live like it. Stop living in the box and start breaking out of the box. There is a dreamer in you waiting to be unleashed. Silence the critics and stop listening to your circumstance. Today I challenge you to start writing a bigger dream for your life. Write it down in your journal. Start making declarations around your dream. Study the process. Develop a dream team around you to manifest it. Most of all, speak life to your dream daily. Dreams must be watered in order to grow. Dare to dream bigger!
