Live The Dream

There has been widespread talk about visualising what it is that you want in your life in order for you to see it manifest itself.

Some writers say you should visualise and verbalise what you want and you shall see it happen. Those theories whilst true, are not what we shall be discussing. What we shall focus on however, is how once you have a dream or a vision you shall see it through from idea conception right up to full execution.

There is no way that you can structure a project out till it has been completed without actually seeing the vision or the idea about which you are talking about.

See it from the word go, what would you go about doing and what would happen if your dream was to be executed immediately?

If God was to say he would supply you with everything that you need, wether finances, resources, human or otherwise what would you need and how would you employ them?

Begin to move from the place that you currently are and see what it is that you need to the fulfillment of your objective. What is it that you would do on a day to day basis, with whom and how would it be necessarily executed.

For example, say your dream is to construct a house, the first thing you would consider is probably the location, then how to get the land, who you would need to see, what papers you anticipate to sign and present, the form of payment strategy you would have to employ, wether cash, cheque, credit, trade etc, how you would get to see the land you are to occupy, the need to employ surveyors and geologists to advise on the possibility of contruction, until you finally begin even thinking about the plan for the house.

As you live out the series of steps, it is wise to jot them down for later revision and deliberation with friends, advisors, partners and self.

It may be difficult at first but with practice and execution you will realise that it becomes easier and you will do it faster with each successive effort you make.

It is also wise to take note of the financial and resource implications to each of your actions so that you are very well aware of what you need if you are to see your dream to fruition.

Difficult you think? Why not try this approach. Consider a person who is about to embark on a long journey. Naturaly, you would plan for it, pack some change of clothing, carry some money, plan out were you will be staying, how you will get there, if there will be some stops in between, what you will eat when you are on the road and once you are there.

Its highly unlikely that you will just get up and go without thinking it through, and if there is one area that you are not satisfied that is adequately provided for you will find a substitute and if you fail at that then you simply wont embark on the journey if the object is very important.

Its the same thing with business, there is no such thing as a “startup guru”, we are all born with this inbuilt ability to learn, plan and startegise. Galileo said, you cannot be taught anything that you do not already know, but you can only be made to realise, what lies deep within yourself.

The same way you make plans and execute holiday plans, is the same way that you execute a business strategy. The levels of execution may be different, but the basic principles remain the same at every level.

Its the basic activities that we carry out on a day to day basis that form the fundamentals of running a big business tha we often fail to recognise. The simple one foot in front of the other that moves you from point A to point B..

The time frame and consequences of each and evry action that you take will also make themself obvious at this stage hence you can easily identify what challenges and constraints that you are likely to face as you progress with your activities.

Tasks that can be done at one sitting are also identified and you can come up with a schedule that is feasible and that will not put a strain on your resources.

Tasks that consume a lot of time and resoources but add very little or nothing to the final outcome can be sidelined or even totally dismissed, but you need to be carefull to take note of the overall picture because some activities influence more than one facet.
It can be very expensive to be cheap.

Imagine

The world as we know it can be a wierd place, with the oddest of occurances each and every day and we strive to fathorm what is taking place.
But for a moment let me ask you to entice your imagination.

Imagine, just imagine that you where one of the most successful people that ever lived, you had it all. I mean you could literaly do anything that you wanted, you could raise or topple economies at your own discretion. Even the most powerful presidents do not have such a power. They can scream threats and send armies and threaten sanctions but the will of the people is not subject to them.

But just imagine if you where adored by all, and everyone was willing to do your every whim. Yes just indulge yourself in this fantasy for a bit, just let loose the child in you.
And then you had the most wonderful family that you can ever dream of a loving and caring wife. A son that just makes you want to jump and shout for joy.
Who is your every desire of a child. The most kind, loving and handsome kid that you have ever laid your eyes on.

All you ever hear are good reports of him. He is still just in grade school but already scholarships to University are being offered to him, because wherever he goes, he is successful in all he does.

On the field all his teammates want him as captain, wether it be volley ball, football, basket ball, hockey or anything. He just never ceases to amaze you. And you just cant imagine where he gets all the time and energy to do all this.

I mean if you had so much pressure on you just imagine how you would feel. But he, young as he is, handles it like the champion he is.

There is no bad report that you ever hear, in class he leads and others follow. He inspires others to achieve as he achieves. All the teachers wish for the day they will have him in their class.
Then imagine, just imagine one day, under his care, a wayward servant driven by a corrupt mind from his youth, performs a crime so henious and unthinkable that it can only be redeemed by performing years of slavery, torture, pain and suffering. And finally when all is said and done an agonising death.

That is not the end of it. Even after that, the name of the perpetrator is erased from very existance, banished forevermore from the mouths of men. How painful such a crime.

And then, wonder of wonders, just imagine if your son, your pride and joy. The lamp of your eyes, your very legacy offers to take the place of that slandrous villain. To suffer and be tormented and killed in the place of that servant.
So that servant may be honoured as he is and have all the favour and strenght that he has even though he is undeserving. So that the servant would also command and it be done. So that the servant would rule and have power and dominion. Oh, what an unfair trade.

Just imagine, what would it take for you to agree to such a crooked deal. I bet that you are saying you wouldn’t, not in a million years you wouldn’t.
Well, someone did, and that one is God, the one that is who he is, the great “I AM”.

He did this because he had a plan for us. A greater plan than we can ever imagine. A plan so far reaching and inspired that the hearts and minds of men are too feable to be able to comprehend its depth.

Well, that God has a plan for you, he always had, now its time to realise, what it is He wants you to achieve, whilst you live heree on earth. What it is that can enable you to claim that your time is not yet done, when death knocks at your door. What you can claim as your Godgiven mandate in this plane of existence.
