Getting healthy is not just a pipe dream. John C Maxwell is one of my favorite motivational writers. My wish to be thin and healthy again became a real, and achievable dream. You can realize your own dream to be thin, healthy and vibrant again. –Nadia Giordana. Here is a bit of what John has to say about your dreams:
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.”
