Keep on Dreaming
ABORT. CANCEL. RETRY. Whenever software on our computer experiences some resistance in the system, we have the option to abort, cancel or retry.
Dreams install new software in your system. A dream installs new direction, creates new hope and generates new energy in you.
We can expect resistance. Future dreams are often not compatible with current realities. That is part of the character and essence of dreams. The resistance and incompatibility were true for all lofty dreams that became our realities of today.
To fly, to put a man on the moon, to carry a phone in your pocket, to win a disease like polio, to have a diversity of race, gender and religion in one parliament – all of these and many more were outrageous dreams.
A shortsighted focus on the past and present resists dreams. “History tells us this is impossible” and “How will that work now?” are viruses that infect dreams. The forces of resistance attack the dreamer. “You are crazy” and “You will never accomplish this” are personal attacks.
The ingredients for dream poison are the negatives in our language, like “never” and “not”. The most dangerous source of infection is not the voices in your environment but the voice in the back of your head. Nobody, but you, can kill your dream.
Do not ABORT your dream. Do not kill the baby soon after conception. Do not CANCEL your dream. Do not push the ESCAPE back to current reality button. Abort and cancel means no growth and no improvement. Escape and cancel provides no escape from current limitations and frustrations.
Always press RETRY. Dream and dream again.
- Be crazy enough to dream.
- Be disciplined enough to dream every day.
- Be bold enough to dream through the resistance.
Keep on dreaming.
