Dare to dream!

Dare to dream simply means the ability to think beyond reality and to wish for a better future. If you can dream it, you can do it. Wishes are possible because you dare to wish them to happen. The problem is that we forget that we can do the same. Within each of us is a core of goodness, wisdom, and heart that has been there from the start. Yet as the years go by disappointment and criticism turn into fears, doubts and anxieties that obscure this essence . Then of course we can't go out in public with our inadequacies hanging out, so we hide them behind our I'm happy, just fine face. Soon our spirit becomes hidden, and we can forget that it even exists. How to we break out? Well, the good news is that it doesn't take years of therapy or digesting self help books. You don't have to understand your pain or your past to break out. Just dare to dream big and then commit to making it happen and having it matter. Your commitment doesn't care about your self doubt or that you're too busy it hasn't got time for that stuff. It's fully engaged in making your dream come true.

Why dare to dream big?

Because the world needs you to put your gifts to work, we're in a mess and we need your help. Everything and everybody counts. Plus dreaming big is the fastest track to personal transformation and learning to make the next big dream come true. Besides we've been wasting a lot of time playing the victim and pointing the finger, myself included. Talking back to the television may give us some satisfaction, but it's not making a dam bit of difference.

 On the other hand, there's nothing better than the feeling you get when you achieve something you really didn't think was possible, is there? I'll never forget scaling through a hard exam while in school; it was as if I'd never really known myself before that moment. If I can scale through that, i can do anything and succeed.

 How do you make big dreams come true?

To answer that question, let me tell you of a story about my four extraordinary mentors i look up to. Their big dream is to challenge themselves in order to bring attention to two worthy charities that are changing the lives of women wounded in war or battling cancer.

 So these rowers are giving themselves a difference kind of physical challenge because they want to help these women in crisis make their big dreams come true.

 I met them and they explained to me how they intend making it a reality in help these women, although it took much of their energy and time but it was a dream that must come true.

 One great enemy we must all endeavor to fear not conquering is fear. Fear can cripple purpose and purposely life. Fear asks question we must fear. Fear makes vision a nightmare. One must always cross the barrier of fear to get the great city of true purposefulness. A great number of us who are unable to live to accomplish the true reason for our existence on earth are unable to cross the barrier of fear in the first place. Dare to take chances; there is no limit to the opportunities waiting for you. Dare to dream, dare to love and dare to live.

Those who are acquainted with failure acquire the unique ability to dare without fear of it. 

The pursuit of our dreams is not without any difficulty. Those who triumph have learnt to overcome the difficulty.
