Today I was listening to radio after dropping my wife off at work. There was a person on the radio from Big Dream Gatherings talking about people who were willing to share their big dreams. It got me to thinking about my own big dreams and how I hoped they would be used in the lives of others. The speaker asked what would you share with someone about starting on a big dream, and I thought for a minute.
First of the hardest thing to do is to get started. We find things come up and we listen to others and our own self in saying hey this can't be done, we worry about our own failures and our own ability, forgetting that others will help or can help along the way.
Second planning, we sometimes overlook planning and want to rush into a job without knowing how to go about it or get it done. We lack the ability to communicate effectively with others about our dreams, and we lack the patience to accept and incorporate others thoughts as we go about doing whatever it is we're trying to do.
Third we often are so easy to give up. When we struggle we tend to depend on ourselves other then the help of others to get us through. If we'd stick with it and focus on the short goals to help us to get to the big overall goal we'd find value of the help we've received along the way.
Today I would encourage everyone to dream big, and to share your big dreams with those you trust. I hope and pray that you would find and have the courage to try to live out your dreams and be an encouragement to your friends, family, and strangers.
