It’s not enough to just dream a dream, at some point we must actually create the dream.
I often hear people talk about their dreams. One day they will go and build it, visit it, create it, share it, or write it. But IT never seems to happen.

Their dream is very real. The mental picture has a lot of clarity. There are many details to the dream, colors, smells, sounds, friends faces, landscapes. It’s all very vivid in the mind; but what does it require to move it from a mental picture to a current reality? What’s needed to bring the dream to life?
Dreams are built with one simple step of action. One doing. The first action.
The hardest part of the process is breathing into the dream and bringing it to life. That is what takes the most courage. Stepping from the land of only imagining, into the world of realizing. That step begins with action. It begins with doing.
Belief, hope, self-confidence, research, plans, strategy, cheerleaders, guts, courage, all of those and more are needed to make the dream a reality, but that will never happen without intentional action.
Action is the great separator between dreams, which live only in the mind, and those that genuinely come to life. There are many dreamers, but only a few brave doers.
What is ONE action step that would set your dream in motion? What is the one act of doing that can put you firmly on the path to realizing your dream? What can you DO today to begin to live the dream?
One day I’m going to………….
Today is that day.
Go do.
