Posted by Luke in Imagine you have just reached your dream. What would that feel like? Think for a moment what is it you really dream about? Say it was to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. If that was your burning desire what on earth would stop you from doing it? Money? Time? What about if you had two legs amputated below the knee? Warren Macdonald suffered a horrible fate of losing both legs below the knee after being crushed by a rock on a trek in Hinchinbrook Island, Australia. Yet he managed to reach his goal and climb Mount Kilimanjaro. So what’s your impossible dream?
Dreams are meant to be impossible
The fact is when we were formed dreams were formed in us. I don’t care what your friends told you or what you think… you have some deep down burning desire in you that wants to form itself into an actual reality. As I have said before there are two kinds of reality that we need to be concerned with. That which is active and that which is passive. The passive kind are the dreams we have and the things we entertain in our heart. These things are what I am talking about today. What is it that you deeply dream about? What are the things you have in your heart to do? Write them down.
The main goal of having a dream
The major thing you need to do when you have a dream is to think about it. Don’t shuffle it under the carpet and pretend like it’s not there. Your dream is that thing that keeps you up at night, that niggle in the back of your mind. It’s the thing you would do if you could do anything. It’s meant to be impossible because it will take miracles, action and much faith to get the thing off the ground. If it didn’t why would you dream about it? If it was possible there would be no need to dream about it. You would just do it.
So what can I do about my dream?
The thing I have maintained having reached a dream or two in my life (getting a post graduate degree and a PhD… almost there) I can say that there are several things you need to know. The most important for this post is this: hold on to it. Don’t let it go. There are many things I want to achieve before I go home but that doesn’t mean I am a failure. The only failures I have met are people who fail to try. So what’s your dream? The first and most important thing you need to do is work that out and hold on to it no matter what. Never give up.
