Sometimes we consign “dreams” to well-known leaders and professionals, but haven’t you ever ask that well-known “what if” question yourself? Have you ever woke up excitedly and told someone your dream right away?
I Too Have Dreamed A Dream
Have you written down your hopes and visions for the future – what you’d really like to see happen in your life, in your family, in your church, in the world?
Age doesn’t matter, you may be young, middle-age, or senior adult, but as long as your mind is intact, it can click on something so fantastic. So no matter who or at what age you are, as long as you have breath, you can still dream. You may think no one cares about your dreams, just only you. but rest assured, God cares. To Him, everything in His creation matters, and He take a personal interest to minor things in life to the most minute detail surrounding it.
Here’s one of my many “dreams:”
Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur usually involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.[1] The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology.
Life is short. Way too short to just sit back and wait for something to happen to you. That’s why we all have dreams and goals we want to accomplish. That’s why bucket lists are so popular.
Knowing that life is short, you should try to maximize the amount of positive experiences you get out of it. After all, you don’t get to restart your life over again once you reach the finish. So you might as well dream big since you won’t get another chance to do it. And besides, you can get a huge payoff from those big dreams.

Why You Should Dream Big
The good thing about dreaming big is that it allows you to fall short and still gain a lot. Confucius once said “If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it’s OK. But you’ve got to shoot for something. A lot of people don’t even shoot.”
Dreaming big pushes you to heights you might not have reached otherwise. Imagine someone who pushes themselves to be President of the United States or head of a giant corporation. Such high goals will necessarily require a lot of work and achievement. Not everyone will make it, but a lot of good can come out of it.
As someone pursues one of those goals, they may push themselves to heights they normally wouldn’t see. Someone who dreams of becoming President might reach as high as Senator or Governor. As Confucius would say, these people didn’t reach the stars, but they still hit the moon. And that is still a great achievement itself.
It’s big dreaming that has led to some of the greatest achievements humans have ever had. Spaceflight, the eradication of smallpox and the internet all started out as big dreams. Someone had to think of those big ideas first before they made them happen. Your dreams are no different.
Are you dreaming big enough? What are some of your big dreams?
I endeavor to never lose hope in my dreams but pray that you will one day have one to come true too.
