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.

Make Your Dreams Come True.

Many dreams are just dreams.  They never come true.  They remain vague wishes of achievement and greatness.

“Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.”
Warren G Bennis.

True Leadership does more than envision the compelling vision.  True Leaders set the pace and activate the energy for the process needed for the dream to become our new reality.

Translate your dreams into your daily life.  Dreams come true through action.  Dreams are made of big colourful pictures.  These pictures become reality through the small and detailed strokes of your paintbrush.  Your dream is in the reflections of your mind and the actualising of your dream is in the action of your hands.  Future dreams are realised through the steps you take today.

To have all the possibilities your dream will provide, you have to do what is necessary today.  Routines and procedures, which seem boring, achieve exciting dreams.

• Can you be fit and healthy without an exercise routine?
• Can you have your dream business without working your business and marketing plan?
• Can you be wealthy without executing the details of your investment plan?

More than often daily routine and procedure are the gateways to big futuristic dreams.

Connect the hard work, the procedures and the routines to your dreams.  Small actions have big meaning as steps towards great goals.  Dreams are the inspiration for your perspiration.

If you have written you inspiring speech beginning with the words, “I have a dream …” it is now time for action.

• Lead yourself.
• Act on your dream.
• Do your dream.
• Paint the tiniest details of your big picture.

What is the step you can take today to make your dream come true?
