Put Your Dream To The Test (part 6)

Posted By on February 12, 2010

Continuing with the theme where every chapter asks a question, Put Your Dream To The Test ends with chapters seven through ten asking how much you are willing to sacrifice to see your dream come to pass, if you are moving closer toward your dream, and what benefit to others does your dream contain.  If you haven’t picked up on it by now, I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK and highly recommend it to anyone with a dream or vision, no matter what size.

The book serves as an unbiased motivation and evaluation with which to learn how to clarify, communicate, and build towards your dream.  The most important thing you can do with a dream is to continually put both yourself and it up for evaluation.  Make a list of your habits and strengths to make sure you are moving in the right direction.  According to what it is and how big it is, let other people in on your dream so they can help you, point out flaws, or perhaps serve as resources for your dream.

Dreams can be scary if you actually think about following them and they will always lead to hard work.  Dreams change you though.  They give you meaning and a better story.  Rather than admire others or claim “they” always get the breaks, dreams compel us to step out and accomplish something that will either inspire others or cause them to envy us.

Think about how much better your life could be if you chose to quit your job and pursue the career of your dreams.  Or speak up and take a stand for a relationship that is important to you.  Or finally take that mission trip because you think it’s what God wants you to do.  How much more peace would you have?  How much more meaning would your life have?  Would you still lay down at night feeling insignificant or would you know you are pursuing something great.

It’s life change folks, and it’s great!!
