When I was growing up, I dreamed about being the left
fielder for the Boston Red Sox. Okay, it did not happen…at least not yet. I
also dreamed about leading my own Christian school, which I have been able to
accomplish. I also dreamed about writing my own book, which became a reality in
2005 after about 8 years of hard work.
What do you dream about accomplishing? What do you want to
be when you grow up? What do you long to do during your life?
Everyone has a dream. Everyone has an ideal goal. Yet we
rarely accomplish our dreams. They seem so far off and so far out of reach that we do
not even take the first steps towards the goal. But, each of us can do something today to take a step in the
direction of accomplishing our dreams.
If you long to be a full-time musician and record your own
album, work hard today on your singing skills and sign up for more advanced instrument
lessons. If you long to be a computer scientist, sign up for the STEM program
at your school, teach yourself a computer language, and spend strategic time today building your computer skills. If you desire to play Division I basketball, shoot
an extra 100 free throws and 100 extra three-pointers today and sign up for the
summer basketball camp at your local college. If you hope to be a published
author, spend 30 minutes today (and every day) writing, read books about writing, and get feedback
on your writing from an author you know.
Dream big and work hard today to accomplish your goal. Great
accomplishments only happen with great effort and long-term determination. Do not
put off your dream another day. Sit down now and list one thing you can do
today, five things you can do this week, and ten things you can do this month
to move closer to accomplish your dream. Pray for God's help and get busy today!
