DARE YOUR DREAMS (personal Development series)

Introductory Quote : Dreams don't work, Unless you do_John Maxwell.

Whenever the word DREAM is mention, the first thought that triggers within the mind of an innocent fellow, is a series of thought or visions that occur during sleeping. And such a thought is a clear indication that such a fellow is still a novice in the affairs of life and if you're one of such persons and reading this article ,am beseeching you to wake up from such slumber, because that's not the kind of dream am talking about.

So what am I talking about, someone may want to ask? Anyway, what am talking about today are the figments of your imagination, the ideas from your thinking, a picture that you saw in your mind about yourself, family, career, business and whatever. 

Dreams are the fictions of your mind, the baby products of your brain, the product of imagination, the creative concept of your thought, waiting for you to give vent to. 

 Dear friend, life is all about dreams, the dream of yesterday are today's realities and the dreams of today are the shapes of tomorrow, so you can see how important dreams are. Everything we are enjoying today, range from work of art, to science & technology, great businesses and investments, including factories and manufacturing set up, banks and multinational companies, they were all products of someone's imagination. 

Somebody somewhere, started it out as a thought, it was first of all, a figment of someone's imagination, then believe that it is possible and act upon his thought thoroughly to bring it into reality. 

For instance ,I strongly believed that bicycles are idea developed from animals movement and that was what later developed into into motorcycle and power bikes today, that's power of imagination at work. 

A wiseman once said, your imaginative power is your creative ability. What does that means? It simply means, your ability to imagine things is the power the creator had imbedded in us to bring things into being, that's to create things & bring it into reality. Mind you, imaginative power was only available to humans, animals and other creatures don't imagine ,they're all reactive creatures. 

Whatsoever you can conceptualized and carry through your thought process and act upon is possible, it doesn't matter who you are or the dictates of your background. If you  can imagine it & act upon it, it is achievable. 

This brings to mind, a short story from the Bible, where people gathered together & imagined to be seeing God and get to heaven and come back, whenever it pleases them. They came together and acted upon this thought to build a tower, which top will get into the heavens, it was named ,the tower of babel. They started working on their dream for years and they were getting to It's accomplishment before the Almighty God intervened, he said "this project, they had began to do, nothing   will be impossible for them ,which they had imagined to do" thus he has to confound their language, that they may not understand one another again "

Dear friend ,you can see, it took the supremacy of God's wisdom to stopped that dreams and the almighty himself testified to it that whatever a man can imagine, can't be restrained from him. Now the question is, what can you see? What are the contents of your imagination? That's what dreams all about but mind you ,the kind of information you exposed your mind to, will determines the contents of your thought, that is the kind of information that'll be available for your mind to process, and that in return will determines the sort of pictures you're imagine upon. 

Information were made available to our mind, through the books we read, the tapes we listened to, the movies or TV programs  we watched ,the environment we lives in and whatever we hear or see. 

Have you ever hear this statement that "life begins from thought "? Just like the words of the scripture, which says, as a man thinks in his heart, so he is. Therefore, the information you're opened to, definitely programmed you, either for success or Failure, if you know it or not, makes no difference. For instance, before a person became a armed robber, he must have opened himself up to such wrong information, either through the company he keeps, the books he read or movies watched consistently over the time, thus he had began to imagined & dreamt about it many days before he acted on it. In the same vein , a person will not turn out well with his or her relationship, family, business or career without first dream about it and see it's possibility through his  imagination. Therefore, it is important the type of information, you're exposing your yourself to. 

Now, if you've gotten a good dream that you desired, mind you, the proof of desired are the actions you're taking towards it. Dear friend, success isn't reserved for the best in the journey of life,  only those who dares win, and to dare, simply means to take up a challenge to do something, despite the obvious odds. It depicts, having enough courage or confidence to do something. Therefore ,to dare your dreams means to confront boldly and defy every challenges on the path to achieve what you've imagined to accomplish. Only those, who surmount the courage and attempt what they desired, those who buried their emotion of fear and allow the joy of accomplishment to drown the thought of impossibilities & failure, these are those who get whatever they dreamt to accomplish ,those are the achievers. 

A courageous person isn't the one that doesn't feel the emotions of fear, but the man or woman, that was able to dare it and confront his or her Challenges. Dear friend, It's time to confront every challenges on your path to accomplish all you ever desired from life, Dare your Dreams!
