WHAT DOES IT TAKE? When you look at your dream as a factor too far-fetched to be achieved, you limit yourself to only what the eyes can see. In order for you to begin to believe that it's possible, you must be prepared to see farther than your eyes can look. Understand also that saying it's possible is not mere regurgitation, but a deeper knowing that what you believe is attainable. The fact that you don't see everything aligned right now is not reason enough to write off your dreams. You can either choose to live your dreams or live your fears. I remember a time when I thought I could do something and then I talked myself out of it. Today, I encourage you not to become that person who talk yourself out of what's possible for your life. Admittedly, it is hard believing something can happen for you when every direction in which you look, all you can perceive is bleakness. Yet, remember you must be prepared to hold on to the vision you perceive in your mind's eye. EYE SIGHT VS. MIND SIGHT George Bernard Shaw says there are three types of people in this world;
THOSE WHO ASK WHAT HAPPENED There are some people in life, they seem to be going through a perpetual state of mere existence. Every time something happens, they have a propensity to ask, what just happened? Somehow you become their unofficial teacher. These individuals seem to constantly be out of touch with reality. Trying to convince such people that their dream is possible is like trying to lift a bucket of water with one finger! Frankly, it is an exercise in futility. In order to realize your dreams and what is possible for your life, you must be mentally present. If you are always in a daze, you will never realize your greatness and like Les Brown says, "one day you will wake up and realize that you are behind on your dreams and your bills." THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED This second group of individuals is not far-removed from the first. When you are around them, you can't help but think they epitomize ignorance. Life happens to them without them even realizing it! When you seek to engage such people, they look at you as though you are speaking a different language. Now, here's what I want you to think about: some of us are not much different from such people, we always seem to be playing catch up to what's going on around us. The worse part about this state of existence is, some never manage to catch up to the present.
Hence, believing it's possible is not 'feel good thinking'. It is a level of assurance rooted in the word of God. Do not become a graveyard statistic by passively going through your life like tomorrow is promised! "You must be prepared to snatch victory from the jays of defeat!" - Les Brown THOSE WHO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN Finally, there are those who make things happen! This last category is where you want to intentionally place yourself. Those who make things happen are those with a larger vision of themselves and the possibilities for their dreams. They have the ability to see further than the eyes can look and when you tell them it's possible, they are likely to respond, "I know!" Don't be mistaken by the lies they tell you, that such an utterance is evidence of pride. You ought to be sufficiently reassured in your belief that your dreams are possibly! And, remember, you do not need anyone's permission to believe that. Likewise, the fact that you say it's possible does not mean you will not face turbulences. However, it is how you lead through these turbulences that will allow you to emerge with triumph! "You have everything you need to manifest your greatness now!" -Shauna-kaye Brown
