It was all a dream.

Everything begins with a dream or a mental visualization. Everything is created twice. First in the mind then in reality. Before you see it in your mind’s eye, it is not possible to bring it to life.  Architects understand this well. They are responsible for blueprints which are a depiction of what the building ought to look like once it is finished. Their drawings have all the details that go into building the house as it should be when it is done. A dream is like an artistic impression of a building. Martin Luther King was driven by a dream for the liberation of colored people in the US. It was very compelling that it ended up consuming his very life as he pursued its realization.

The beauty of it all is that there is no ceiling for the dreams you can have except the one you place on yourself. It therefore goes without saying that you are free to dream and visualize as wildly as your imagination can run. The downside to this is that your life can never rise above your thoughts for and of yourself. More often than not, we dream too little. We approach life with limits in our minds concerning what is possible. At other times, our dreams are weak and they lack that power to compel us. When you dream, make sure your dreams are big, compelling and captivating. Make sure they cannot be stopped by setbacks and the first signs of trouble. There is a scripture that says if you have run with the footmen and you are already weary, what will happen when you come into contact with the horsemen? In other words, your challenges are meant to grow in intensity as you go along. A compelling dream will give you the fuel to blast through all forms of opposition. 

We are trapped or freed inside the confines of our minds. If we can dare to see the impossible as possible then for us it becomes possible. The truth is that someone else will come after you and accomplish a feat greater than what you thought impossible. Never open your mouth to say it cannot be done. If for some reason you cannot do it, the best you can say is I tried and these are the ways in which I know it cannot be done. That way you leave the door open for future attempts at the same thing either by you or someone else.

Never allow your experiences to stand in the way of your dreams. All that you see around you was once just a dream. What would Thomas Edison say to you who gives up at the first attempt? He would tell you that he tried 9999 times to invent the light bulb without success yet he kept going. Why? His attitude was one that was willing to quickly brush aside what did not work yesterday and try again today. You can unashamedly dream again because you are free to. One day your dreams are going to find manifestation.
