THINK, BELIEVE, DREAM, DARE

THINK, BELIEVE, DREAM, DARE

 I thank GOD every day for dreamers and visionaries.  According to The Holy Writ, “Where there is no VISION, the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18)  Indeed, visionaries, our God-given ‘human gifts,’ manage to consistently mobilize energy and enthusiasm that keeps us LIVING, i.e. moving ahead, regardless of conditions or circumstances.

 So, relative to YOUR time and productivity on the planet, here is a strategic question you should ask and answer honestly: WHO or WHAT would you allow to confuse, confiscate, discourage, or drown your dream?

 How I love the story of the eight-year-old boy who was approached by an elderly gentleman in front of a wishing well.  The young lad looked up into the older man’s eyes, and asked: “I understand you’re a very wise man.  I’d like to know the secret of life.”

 The old man looked down at the youngster, considered carefully for a moment and then replied.  “I’ve thought a lot in my lifetime, and life’s secret can be summed up in four words: The first is THINK.  Think about the values you wish to live your life by.  The second is BELIEVE.  Believe in yourself based on the thinking you’ve done about the values you’re going to live your life by.  The third is DREAM.  Dream about the things that can be, based on your belief in yourself and the values you’re going to live by.  The last is DARE.  Dare to make your dreams become reality, based on your belief in yourself and your values.”

 And with that, Walter E. Disney whispered to the little boy, “Think, Believe, Dream and Dare.”

 My friend, it is never too early (or too late) to DREAM…

 Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
