What is a Dream

By: jwilder, 1/16/2024

A dream is a specific way we choose to live and express our purpose through using our imagination, gifts, and desires to do something deeply fulfilling and beneficial for others.

A dream is not a fantasy. A fantasy will never be real. A dream is not a goal. A goal is for the mind. A dream is born from the heart.

A dream is not a job. There is nothing in that definition that implies paying the bills or becoming famous.

A dream is not an escape from reality, it is there to become reality.

The ability to dream is a gift. It is a gift that should not be taken for granted or ignored. It is the power to see a better future. A future so compelling that it makes us say, I must make this real!

For many people, dreams can dwell as a dormant desire to fulfill their potential. Dreams can be foggy and unclear. Wrestling with a foggy vision of our purpose and who we truly want to become can take years.

The dreamers who came before us call us to dream and do the work to build a foundation for our dreams to rest upon. But here is the truth - the path to making a dream a reality is not well understood, and is not taught well. That is why I created James on Success.
