Here is a question that most of us probably don’t think about very often, if at all. Who’s dream am I working on every day.
Think about this for a minute. If your working, everyday, and you not making your dreams come true, then who’s dream are you working on. If you going to be spending all that time and energy anyway, shouldn’t you be getting the results you deserve. Shouldn’t you be getting closer to your dreams and goals.
Now I know this is true for a lot of us. We work jobs that we don’t like, to live lives that we reluctantly accept. We tell ourselves a lie, to make us feel better. We tell ourselves things like “I’m lucky to have a job” or “I have enough to pay my bills and buy food. I don’t need any more”. Now don’t get me wrong, I totally agree with being grateful for what we have. I just don’t agree with accepting less than what we are capable of.
Instead of just having a job, why not have a job that makes a difference in peoples lives. Why not better yourself to earn more so that you can pay your own bills and help someone else as well. Why not? There is not a lack of money in this world, I think there is a lack of people that believe that more is possible. So start believing that you can, and you’ll be amazed at what you start achieving.
And remember, if you are not building your own dream, you are building someone else’s. Either way you’ll be expending the same amount of energy. So make it count. 🙂
Keep believing and stay Awesome.

Its interesting how some of your blogs are similar to my Word for Today. For e.g.
A vision is a picture of “what can be” rather than “what is”. Your vision may be to bring health where there is sickness, education where there is ignorance, freedom where there is oppression. Or your vision may be smaller, like being a great parent or grandparent, breaking a bad habit, overcoming your fear of technology or spending your retirement years impacting the world around you instead of sitting in a rocking chair waiting to die.
Having a vision isn’t enough, there has to be a commitment to act on it which requires specific steps to achieve it. Those steps are called goals which establish a plan to fulfill your vision. You’ll generally have one vision, but many goals, which will bring you a step closer to fulfilling your vision.
When your vision comes from God, He’ll give you the strength, wisdom, connections, relationships and resources to make it happen because He’s “the author and finisher of our faith”.
Well done Neil, a good piece of work! I know a lot of thought would have gone into writing it. Lovies xx
