Don't just dream it, be it

-
The saddest stories are the ones where people's dreams are on hold for "when it..." is ideal.

 Every one has something that ties them down, occupies, and limits their ability to live out "the dream." Some are waiting for money, some are waiting for a golden opportunity, and others are waiting... just waiting.

 Most people use dreams as a crutch to help them limp through the day. Others see their dream as the light at the end of the life tunnel. A limited few use dreams as a target to focus their efforts. For all of them, the dream is never realised.

 We are not called to to strive for "I will," " I could," or even "I should." We are, however, called to live out our "I am." Our hopes and dreams are the the guidelines to do just that. By putting our dreams on ice, we freeze our true identity.

 Dreams are God's vehicles that carry us to our purpose, which we "sell out" for that romance, for that bond payment, or for that dream holiday. The things that should be the rewards for achieving our dreams, for expressing our true selves, has become the end itself. People swap out "I am" for "I have."

 It's hard, costly, and scary to pursue what's in our hearts. It's nerve wrecking to breathe life into our fantasy. Yet, the earth groans and wrestles, waiting in dire anticipation for you to realise what manner of "I am" you are. Read that again. Did you notice its not "what you will become"?

 In the confusion of trying to manifest their spirit-born dream, people have cheapened it to materialise the objects of desire. Don't be fooled, my friend, Providence was never intended to be about mere possessions. We are given dreams, not as something to have, but as someone to be. Don't just dream it, be it.

5 Key Principles of Team Development In order to achieve something fantastic, you require a team to do what is needed for success. Before you have a high performance team, you need a group that shares a common cause. Before you have a group with a common cause, a leader is required.

The Average Enforcer When introducing the wonders of Mind Mutter, what it is and how it works, it is beneficial to look at the effects it has on people like us. This article will take a brief look at how Mind Mutter affects peoples thinking, their achievements, their successes and failures. Have you ever wondered why people at the top of their game somehow fail - spectacularly? Think of people in sports, and how at the pinnacle of their career, they make a blunder that destroys their reputation.

How does this happen to world class athletes?
