DREAM
Believe in the beauty of your dreams. I feel this is a
concept to live for in your life. If you cannot conceive of a single dream or
goal, you are not then able to strive for anything.
Just this past week, I
heard a motivationalspeaker, Hill Harper, who is now best known as an actor on
CSI but started his career in Harvard Law School, played basketball with Barack
Obama long before he became famous as a president and Harper has started his
own foundation under the concept of "Manifest your own Destiny".
Key
point to his talk was though he could have been a well paid corporate lawyer,
he followed his dream of acting to become a happy, productive, successful
individual in life This is a great concept to live by since you then have
control over your life's journey that will twist and turn based on the choices
you make, but they are your choices alone. I am a firm believer in individual
choice as nobody else can stand in your shoes and know what you as an
individual is facing, though input and guidance is useful.
The first line of
this paragraph is attributed to another great individual, Eleanor Roosevelt,
"believe in the beauty of your dreams".
How does God fit into this
concept for life?
I believe God presents opportunity in his own way and the
bible is useful in giving guidance by examples and literature, but ultimately,
the individual must choose their own path for life. Having a life long dream
and finding a way to fulfill it, leads to a better individual and better
community experience in the end. I even believe that most individuals lives
could at some point today in our world qualify for additional chapters in the
bible if we could still add to it...being relevant today as it was then in many
ways...the future really does belong to those that believe in the beauty of
their dreams.
