We all dream, whether we try to or not. Our dreams may excite us, scare us, encourage us, push us, and so much more. I’m not talking about the dreams we have at night, but the dreams that our minds will drift to throughout the day. Yes, those dreams that we wish were reality.
These dreams may include anything from owning a specific car, raising a family, or being rich. Then there is another type of dream, a dream that seems impossible, yet you can’t let go of it. A dream that could change the world if only you had the time, resources, and knowledge. If only everything was perfect. If only. . .
So, when is “if only”, not good enough?
What happens when that dream has escalated to a point that consumes your thoughts? When its so clear in your mind and yet so far away. When just dreaming isn’t good enough? Then what?
Thats where I am.
My dream has intensified to a point that I have to act. I have to move forward regardless of the fear that has overwhelmed me so far. But its scary. What if I fail? What if I don’t have what it takes? What if someone else could do it better? So many what ifs?
But if I don’t give it my all, if I don’t put my dreaming into action. It will fail!!
It’s not a matter of fearing failure, maybe its a matter of fearing success. Because as long we try, we will learn, we will grow, and we may even succeed. But if we don’t try, then we have no other choice but to fail.
So, What is my Dream?
- To be able to pay higher prices for additional support for those poor families.
- To create a gathering place for students.
- To offer a cafe, ‘theater’, and other activities.
- To have internationally themed events every month
- To help fund youth mission trips
And the list of possibilities could go on forever!
This is my dream, and NOW is the time to pursue it with all my heart.
What is YOUR dream? What is God pushing you to do today? Please let my transparency of sharing my dream and the fears that go along with it, be your motivation to also act. Your dream may seem impossible. You may have even received criticism for that dream. But PLEASE do not give up before you even give your dream a chance. If we can come together with our dreams. If we can help each other. How much bigger could our dreams be?
I want to know what your dream is. And more than that, I would love to be a part of your dream. Please share in the comments below so that we can make our dreams a reality.
