Our Dreams Can Make Things Possible
Unless we are willing and able to have a self- motivating dream
that is personally significant and moving, there is generally little change of
us achieving to our potential. Those that diminish the significance of dreams
are generally individuals who easily abandon taking significant action, stands,
or direction, because they tend to lack the motivation and vision to look
forward to. Robert Schuller stated this in his inimitable manner, when he said,
"The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own
thinking." Every important and great development, invention, or action
began with an essential dream, that was important enough to drive individual or
individuals to persist while those lacking dreams often quit early.
1. When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, or Thomas
Alva Edison invented the phonograph, light bulb or several other things, think
about how often they must have been told that what they wanted to do was
impossible. These individuals, like nearly every great person in history,
persevered because they were personally motivated by their dream and their
vision of what could be, and why it was so very important. Imagine what might
not have been if Ray Charles had listened to those that consistently and
persistently said that a blind man could not be a successful musician, and
certainly not a musical genius?
2. Our dreams are the guiding lights that bring us to our
essential visions. Because of these, we are able to set meaningful and
important goals. We are also motivated by our dreams to persist when others
give up, and to overlook and/ or overcome the obstacles, adversities and
challenges that might block others, but simply propel dreamers to further
heights of achievement and accomplishment.
3. When it comes to our leaders, dreaming is perhaps even more
significant. Think about the famous dreams and visions of individuals such as
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and President John F. Kennedy, and one realizes
that these men left a legacy because of what they dreamed and envisioned, and
not solely because of accomplishments. When one's dreams drives him to try
harder, do more, be more persistent, care more, better handle adversity or
obstacles, and still be able to focus on the future, the odds of creating
something truly meaningful and significant are exponentially enhanced.
All of the greats in history believed in the infinite
possibilities and were thus possibility thinkers, and did not permit what
others said was impossible permeate their inner mind. Positive mental attitude
may, in fact, be the most essential of all important traits and
characteristics.
