I have a quote on my work desk that reads,
"If you can dream it, you can do it." Walt Disney spoke those words over 50 years ago and they have inspired me to keep dreaming, and go for those dreams that God has given me. When people walk through our basketball offices at BJU and see that plaque, most of them can't help but say something about it. The typical remark is usually something like, "I have dreamt a lot of dreams in my lifetime that I was never able to do" or "I always wanted to be an astronaut and now I'm a janitor." It always makes me chuckle or smirk when I hear these things, but at the same time it is encouraging to me. I am encouraged by the fact that I am still alive with a dream and I am still chasing it unlike so many people. Although I understand that some "dreams" are unrealistic, I still choose to dream. Many people say that, "dreams are just goals without a plan", but I believe that dreams are goals filled with inspiration and creativity. We can set goals all day long, but if we are not passionate about pursuing those goals they are pointless. Just because someone out there gave up on their dreams, don't let them convince you to give up on yours. My dreams are special to me and they hold a sincere place in my heart. Walt Disney's life story is so amazing to me and to think it all started with a dream! So keep dreaming your dreams, and continue to go after those things that make you who you are! God is calling all of us to do great and mighty things, so dream big and dream often!
