#29 - EFFECTIVE DREAMERS BELIEVE
Faith is knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Khalil Gibran
Effective dreamers are faith-filled.
Dreamers do not only visualize possibilities, but, more importantly, they sincerely believe that the possibilities that they dream can and will come true.
They have the unique ability to trust without knowing and believe without seeing.
Where does this faith come from?
I can’t say for sure, but what I do know is that many of the things that they believe in are similar. A majority of dreamers who see their dreams to completion all have:
1. Faith in their GOAL
Effective dreamers believe that the dreams and goals they are pursuing are worthy goals. They believe that the change that they are believing for is necessary and needed. They live with a sense of conviction that says, “If I don’t accomplish this dream or goal, no one else will.” They are convinced that their goal is a good one, and it is their responsibility to see it to completion.
2. Faith in their GIFT
In addition to a belief in their goals, effective dreamers have an unwavering faith in their talents and abilities. They understand that they have been uniquely equipped to make their dreams a reality therefore they confidently pursue that which they have set in their hearts to accomplish. They believe the old adage that states, “God does not call the equipped, but he equips the called.”
3. Faith in their GOD
Possibly the most important aspect of an effective dreamer’s faith, is their faith in God. Dreamers who see their dreams to fruition believe, ultimately, their dreams were given to them by God. They see the work that they are carrying out as critical not only because it is needed in the world, but more importantly, because it is an assignment from above.
Effective dreamers believe God will provide for the various needs of their dream.
Effective dreamers believe God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
Effective dreamers believe God will give them strength to persevere through their obstacles.
Though effective dreamers have a trust and faith in their goals and dreams, their ultimate trust is in “The Dreamgiver.”
