Don't let anybody steal your dreams. There is a voice within us that knows we have something special and unique to give to the world. But in this world there will be dream stealers, dream snatchers ant dream killers that will squash your dream, extinguish and snuff it out of existence. And they tell you out of the good intention of their hearts. They will tell you it is not possible. You will get burnt. Don't even try.
"Throughout our life, our friends and folks may offer advice.
And though they mean the best, it often is not the greatest
They may see our plans as just more crazy schemes
And every time we listened, We let them steal our dreams.
They may fear, in case you failed, that you really shouldn't try
So we never spread our wings and never learned to fly
But they're just folks who only see the world the way it seems to them
Don't let anyone steal your dream"
How are we not going to let anybody steal our dreams? By guarding them. By believing in ourselves. By knowing we have a gift that must be pursued. By knowing that all great accomplishments start with a dream.
"Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blue prints of your ultimate achievements." Napoleon Hill
Guard your dreams. Carefully.
"Don't let anybody steal your dream." –Dexter Yager
Most of us have lost the art of dreaming. Of allowing dreams to fill and thrill us. The dreams that you have while you're wide awake. The thoughts that excite and thrill you, that energize you, that make you look forward to each new day. They are images of what you want to have happen, what you'd love to do or say or become.
"When you cease to dream you cease to live." –Malcolm S. Forbes
When you dream, you are creating your life. You are thinking of the unique change you can contribute, you are actively pursuing what you think is worthwhile, thrilling to you. You are engaged, you are alive. When you cease to dream, you cease to live.
Dreams are bigger than goals. Goals are instruments that help you achieve your dreams.
A dream is the big picture, the ultimate happiness, joy, thrill, exhilaration that we can be excited about. As children, we used to have dreams. Of castles, fairies, knights, boldly imagined and lived. As children, we imagined we could have what we wanted. As life unfolded, we bumped into walls that prevented us from reaching our dreams. Into people that told us that it was too difficult. Don't even try. There are dangers lurking ahead. There are predators waiting to eat you, to see you fall.
As a result, we have been limited. We have formed limiting beliefs that held us back
Like the proverbial elephant that is tied to a twig or thin pole. It has been trained not to escape, as the past has taught the elephant that escaping from the pole will bring pain. Or the flea that is limited by the height of the lid. It can never jump higher again. Nor the elephant escape from the thin rope even though it is capable of pushing heavy logs, a zillion times the weight of the thin twig.
Start to recondition your mind for success. And pursue your dreams. We have all been implanted the desire to create, something good, to pursue something worthwhile, exciting, thrilling, challenging. Accept the challenges that life gives you. Believe you can achieve.
Napoleon Hill has these qualities of persistence that help you to recreate those dreams you have dreamed of.
1.Definite purpose,
2. Burning desire,
3. Self reliance,
4. A definite plan,
5. Accurate knowledge,
6. Cooperation,
7. Will power or Self mastery and
8. Habit.
It is how we follow through on our dreams, believe in the bigness and worthiness of our dreams that will make our dreams a reality.
That will allow us to truly live the life of our dreams.
