A DREAM, A VISION.

Everytime i think of someone who has a dream Martin Luther King Jnr easily comes to mind, his dream has outlived him. Barack Obama has a dream, his dream is unfolding. Christopher Columbus had a dream, it emerged. Bishop David Oyedepo has a dream, his dreams are manifesting. I have a dream, i am enjoying the process and learning the 'ropes'.
There are certain things i have discovered about a dream. Having a dream is not the same thing as having a fantasy, dreams in the context i'm talking about his having a mental picture, a vision, a clear imagination ingrained within your soul of what you want to be, do or have. It should be big enough to inspire and achievable to motivate you.
A dream is a vision, a vision is a dream. Your dream/vision is your future.
Dreams help to keep you on track, when you don't have a dream, you miss the mark.
