Have a dream |
Sometimes! We meet people with different dreams in life; some with strange one, some with dreams bigger than them, some with dreams without relevance or purpose, and some with dreams that are in bits (phases). Nevertheless, you find those without any dream in life, they are just living on earth to while away their time (no dream, no motivation, no aspiration, no purpose).
While I read about men and women who have made impart and significant touch in their world or our world at large, most of them had dream (no matter how little their dream might have been), it motivated them. They lived for their dream and were able to overcome obstacles that tried to limit them from it. People like: Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, J. F. Kennedy, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela and so many others in different part of the world including great men of God (although this office is by auction, not ordinary) . They lived for this course.
I learnt that in most cases, their dream help to build the perspective or spectacle they view the world with. But now, you see some people shouting “This world is not my home, am just passing through”, another saying “I know the world is not my home because death is inevitable, but am going to leave it better than I met it”, and you keep hearing all sort of things. Please, who does not know that people give birth and die every day, and so it means there is a period to be spent on earth because of death.
Just a thought to help each other, I think you need to know what category or how you see the world (it will help a long way). For me, I belong to the category of those ; “who want to leave the world better than they met it or as a better place”. We may believe in different things or few things (ideas, concept, beliefs), but at some points in life, we do have common interest, desire or dream which brings us together. And so,
“I have a dream …that people (believers) will influence their world or change lives even with their mind set on eternity,…that goodly people will no longer leave the earth to be controlled or dominated by evil ones,...that the righteous will rise to every sector of the world: politics, business, education, careers, ministry, technology, entertainment and many other sectors.…that the wicked, unrighteous and evil men in our world (society, nation and world at large) will no longer make decisions that affects the lives of innocent and good souls."
It looks like my dream is short but bigger than me, I guess! This was how it looked for people around Martin Luther too, but he dreamed and got results that lasted even after his death. Because, people with such dreams were never alone, they shared it and those who eventually believed or had interest in their dream ran along with them.
J. F. Kennedy Quote |
I challenge you today to have a dream that will change your world and souls around you, without jeopardizing your faith or end goal of eternity. And, I also think its fine to meet people with the same dream (aspiration) in life, because they will contribute and help you in achieving your dream.
It is obvious that one’s dream can motivate and affect a lot of things about his one's life: career, lifestyle, education, faith, relationship in our world.
I intend to close this article with this:
“Don’t think about what your country will do for you, think about what you will do for your country” - J.F. Kennedy
THE CHALLENGE OF GREATNESS!
