Quick thought about life’s dreams

Hey people, I just thought I’d share this excerpt from the blog of John C. Maxwell–whose only like God’s gift to all things leadership. It makes you think about your lifes dreams abit more clearly. Enjoy.

The Right and Wrong Picture of a Dream

I’ve studied successful people for almost forty years. I’ve known hundreds of high-profile people who achieved big dreams. And I’ve achieved a few dreams of my own. What I’ve discovered is that a lot of people have misconceptions about dreams. Take a look at many of the things that people pursue and call dreams in their lives:

• Day Dreams — Distractions from Current Work
• Pie-in-the-Sky Dreams — Wild Ideas with No Strategy or Basis in Reality
• Bad Dreams — Worries that Breed Fear and Paralysis
• Idealistic Dreams — The Way the World Would Be If You Were in Charge
• Vicarious Dreams — Dreams Lived Through Others
• Romantic Dreams — Belief that Some Person Will Make You Happy
• Career Dreams — Belief that Career Success Will Make You Happy
• Destination Dreams — Belief that a Position, Title, or Award Will Make You Happy
• Material Dreams — Belief that Wealth or Possessions Will Make You Happy
• Seasonal Dreams — A Short Term Target You Try to Reach

If these aren’t good dreams-valid ones worthy of a person’s life-then what are? Here is my definition of a dream that can be put to the test and pass: a dream is an inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will, and emotions, empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it.

A genuine dream is a picture and blueprint of a person’s purpose and potential. Or as my friend Sharon Hull says, “A dream is the seed of possibility planted in the soul of a human being, which calls him to pursue a unique path to the realization of his purpose.”
