What A Child Knows

Yesterday I had a day-dream session that was going so well. You know the one, the imagination of the future was so clear that you get lost in the emotions of it. It was so clean, it was, as the saying goes- so close you can almost taste it.

Then what happened? Poof disappeared from distraction? The reality of life brought the distance which was great into clear view?

These are a couple of guesses of what may happen to you and your day-dreams.

I use day-dreams here to speak in terms most people can understand. Now I am going to flip the term to VISION. Those were not simply daydreams. They were gifts and desires that were placed into my mind for a reason. If they were of value and would cause me to stretch, make me work, make me stay up late, feed my righteous passions they were a gift from GOD.

Vision. I have a new rule that I will live by. I will day dream like a child and take action steps as an adult. I will never tell that child within what it can and cannot be, have, or do. As an adult I will hold myself accountable to set the goals to bring these visions to pass.

I will continue to keep a dream list and update it as I have these visions of the future. If I am going to work hard in the present anyway, I am either going to keep my head down and miss the opportunities or have it up seeing where I am going, letting the opportunities drive me forward so I can grab onto their promise.

Dream everyday as a CHILD, and take action steps as an ADULT.
