Dream Your Dreams

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts.

Daniel 7:1

It is not selfish to dream, nor unproductive to envision, for all innovation begins with inviting imagination. Follow your deepest desires to dream of an amazing future that will propel you to your destination—which God has called you to. The secret to the most successful people, in business and in life, is that they never lose focus, never stop reaching, never stop striving to overcome and accomplish their goals. You can too, right now.

It seems paradoxical but it is nevertheless true: you must dream beyond the imaginable to achieve success beyond the attainable. Are your visions of the future confined in a suffocating box of limitations? What is holding you back? How are you preventing yourself from success? Dream your dreams today and allow God to move and meet your desires as you dream big dreams.

With the tools for the job and the target in sight, you take aim and soar to your future. Dream big, clarify your goals, aim high, and act, and you will fulfill that which God has already given to you as a believer for your life. Remember, even by dreaming your dreams, or preparing and gaining the tools, you are succeeding in your goal, because you are moving forward towards that which God has called you to.

God gave you a purpose in life, find your garden and cultivate it. Each one of us has been called to a specific garden and we need to seek out our garden and cultivate it. As we do we will begin to grow and prosper in the things of God.

Take your dream to the next level by writing it down on paper, and then adding details until it becomes not just a hope or desire, but a reality in your life. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it” (Habakkuk 2:2). When you write it down you see it and when you see it your dreams become a vision—one that you can grasp and achieve.
