Dare to Move

The difference between a dreamer and a doer. In order to be successful as a dreamer, at some point you must become a doer. Not that you must do everything, but you must be willing to put into action the dreams that you deem worthy of pursuing.

Isaiah 48:3 – “Long ago I told you what was going to happen. Then suddenly I took action and all my predictions came true.”

You can tell people what is going to happen all day long, but until somebody decides to take action none of those predictions will come to pass. How many people wait around praying for the miracle they need in their life – and they are disappointed when nothing happens. They never realize that new job they were hoping for, the bills don’t get paid, the move they were hoping for never happens, the new home doesn’t become a reality. Nothing changes.

Are you just a dreamer or are you a dreamer who is willing to become a doer? Nothing happens until somebody is willing to put the dreams into action. Somebody has to be willing to put feet beneath the ideas of the dreamers.

I’ve been around many big dreamers…people who don’t seem to have any limits on their thinking or on what reality would like to say is actually possible to attain. Remember what Walt Disney said? “If you can dream it you can do it. Remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.” Yet at some point if Walt Disney had not chosen to move from the position of dreamer to doer his dream would not have been realized.

Not every dreamer is gifted in the art of implementation…and this is why it is so vitally important that a portion of your dreaming involves dreaming about and visualizing the people that will be on your team that will help make your dream a reality.

Dare to dream big! Dare to move!

Have a blessed day,
