Do You Have a Vision?

You must have a vision, or a dream, for your life. Your dream is what will cause you to get out of the bed in the morning instead of waking up with anxiety or dread for the day ahead.

Personally, when I first wake up, I immediately started to focus on my dream. If I do not, I find it very easy to be discouraged and start talking about things. This is definitely no way to start your day!

You will never be your best if you do not have a dream because you were born to the dream. Proverbs 29:18 says that "Without a vision the people perish."

So many people without a dream will get out of bed tomorrow and do the same thing they did yesterday. Doing the same work, seeing the same people, and complaining about the same things. And then the next day, the cycle itself repeats. Day after day, week after week, year after year, and all of a sudden life is over.

I believe that every person inside there is a God-given dream and that dream means to come true! God is a dreamer and He created us in his image and with the ability to dream. God is also a creator and he has given us the ability to create (not on the same level of course, because he alone is God).

In order to live an abundant and prosperous life, we are using our ability to dream as a focal point, as we take action by implementing the ideas God has given us.

I believe God gives everyone ideas, but why are some people not dreaming of their dreams? My theory is that they had had their hopes and dreams crushed so many times so that they are afraid of dreaming and more. They have just adopted this attitude that it is as good as it's ever, so let's just accept it.

Are you like that? Maybe you're afraid to get your hopes up in case "it does not work out." If it does not work out you will still be disappointed. You might as well get your hopes up and believe! Jesus said, "All things are possible to him who believes" (Mark 9:23). But, "all things being possible" is a conditional statement because it depends on your belief or disbelief.

So how do you start dreaming again? Since a dream is nothing more than a thought, or a series of thoughts, you are there; by controlling your thoughts (you must control your thoughts or they will control you). Stop thinking negatively and start to believe great things. Search deep down for what it is that gets you excited. Find it, believe in it, and confess it.

It is important that once you set what it is that you want, that you back it up with words. Jesus said in Mark 11:23, "He who believes that those things which he says will come to pass, whatever he says."

There is a God-given dream inside you. Bring it out and live your dream!
