The Dream Centered Lifeનમૂનો

Seize The Dream

Henry Ford once said, “Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.”

When you get a God-sized dream, you have to be ready for the window of opportunity to open, because the window isn't always open. However, if you’re ready when that window opens and you seize the opportunity, that open window will take you one step closer to the dream.

Can you think of a time in your life when a window of opportunity opened and you walked through it? Or, maybe you can think of a time when you chose not to walk through a window of opportunity.

On the journey to your dream you are going to run into problems, it’s inevitable. People who achieve their dreams are people who see more than just the problem, they see solutions to the problem and they think of creative ways to solve problems. In fact, many of the great inventions of the world came as a solution to a problem.

One day, a salesman was closing a deal. He handed his pen to the customer to sign on the dotted line. When the pen didn’t work, he was so frustrated that he decided to invent a pen that would write every time he needed it. Thus, the Waterman Pen, one of the finest pens was conceived.

Every problem is really an opportunity to come up with a solution.

Problems are inevitable on the journey to your dream. Expect them. However, we don’t have to carry extra unnecessary baggage. Things like resentment, unforgiveness and bitterness will weigh us down and can sabotage our dream.

One husband said to his wife, “Why do you continue to bring up the past? I thought you had forgiven and forgotten.” The wife said, “I have forgiven and forgotten, I just don’t want you to forget that I have forgiven and forgotten.”

When it comes to the past, it may not be possible to forget it, but it is possible not to dwell on it.

Psychologist, Archibald Hart said, “The memory may be there, but the sting is gone.”

Jesus said in Matthew 5:44, “… do good to them that hate you.”

In other words, learn to travel light, without the heavy baggage of resentment and bitterness. It will make for a happier journey on the way to reaching your dream.

What is one possible solution to a problem that you are facing today?
