It’s a great reminder to hear when things are tough; keep your eyes on the dream. Of course right? So easily said, yet at times, it’s close to impossible. What makes it even more challenging is that even more often than not, that “dream” isn’t really there. So many are running this race called life with such passion and conviction, they are heading in one direction and they are obtaining their dream. Yet there are ‘us’, the few that remain in limbo, the group that find it hard to get the ‘reality’ done, never mind accomplish ‘The Dream”.
This thought came to my mind and I could not shake it. I realised this dream takes more courage than we bargain for, but if you can nail the basics, you can dominate almost anything.
Firstly, I realised it is essential for one to fully, wholeheartedly believe, whether or not you see it, feel it or believe it, that YOU do have a dream. You have a unique God-breathed dream that no one on this earth can take or duplicate. How can you keep your eyes on the dream if you don’t believe you have your own dream right? That’s like driving to work with no car. Impossible.
Secondly, I realised you need to want to reach the dream. We all say we do, yet do we take the time to map out our lives in a way that is strategic in moving us forward? Do we plan time to dream? Do we plan time to realign our focus? Do we set our actions alongside our hearts desires? Do we truly count the cost in what it will take to reach our dream? I believe if we give our dream the time of day, our day of living the dream will surely come to pass.
Keep your eyes on the dream is something you are constantly working on. It’s something that takes blood sweat and tears, yet there is nothing more rewarding than accomplishing the dream you were designed to complete. It’s yours; find it, work it, get it.
