Dream Chaser

Are your dreams important to you? 

Are you chasing them with all you got?

It takes courage to dream; it takes even more courage to chase your dreams.

Here are 7 things to keep in perspective during your journey as a dream chaser:

1.      Get off the couch and out of the house. Your dreams will not come to you; you have to go chase them. Your treasure boat is not coming to you; you have to navigate to it!

2.      Be passionate about your dreams. No one else will be as passionate as you are. Be aware as you may look like a madman while in the pursuit of your dreams.

3.      Keep your dreams in front of you. Focus on what is next. Take actions that direct you towards your dreams. Ingenuity and creativity will come from your dreams. Have faith, the belief in seeing your dreams becoming reality.

4.      Be hungry and motivated. You got to have the desire; the hunger provides the motivation. Never expect others to motivate you to chase your dreams. Your dreams are yours, not theirs. Others may inspire you by sharing their struggles in the journey to their victories.

5.      Expect resistance and keep going. Know that others may be uncomfortable around you. The uncommon person will always find resistance on the way to achievement.

6.      Tenaciously persist to the end. Nothing takes place of persistence. Expect setbacks, learn from them, and get up quickly after every fall. A dog does not know it has flees during a case.

7.      Help others get their dreams. Others will be inspired by your commitment and will emulate you during your chase. Be sure to help them along your journey.

There is no competition for a person chasing a dream!

Be blessed and be a blessing to others!
