You Must Have a Dream

But what if there is a negative force in life, which wants to stop you from reaching your potential and talks you out of living your dreams? It tells you, in your mind, that you’re not smart enough or good enough to become a doctor. What if you believe those thoughts and give up your dreams? How would you feel when your life was over and you discovered what you could have become?

God has sent each of us here to do amazing things with our lives, but there is a negative force out there intent on stopping us from reaching our potential. We have a purpose and were given gifts and talents to accomplish our mission, but in order to make our contribution we must first develop ourselves and fight against the evil opposition. It is our responsibility to discover our gifts and talents and use them to reach our highest potential and to do good in the world.

These gifts and talents we have been blessed with can often be found when we pursue the dreams of our hearts. Dreams are vital because they get us excited about our lives and motivate us toward what we are to become and what we should do with our lives. Our dreams must be important to us, and we must pursue them if we are to be happy and successful.

Too many of us don’t take our dreams seriously and often dismiss them as being impossible or foolish. Many of us believe that the only people who can have success in the world are the gifted, talented people who excel in some area--the sport stars, the entertainers, or the so-called intelligent ones. We don’t even make an attempt to do what is in our heart. We believe we don’t have a chance of attaining our dreams; because we think we are not good enough, we don’t even try.

We cheat ourselves if we don’t strive toward our own potential. We are all gifted in our own way. Each of us is a genius and can do something better than anyone else. We must live our dreams to find our own genius and accomplish our own mission.
