Hi,
We all know that a true dream is not always easy to realise; it takes time, effort and persistence. We’ve spoken about adapting previously when at times things are not going to plan. Adapting is a great way of keeping the dream alive whilst you work on other things for a while. But one should not forget to work on the plans in order to bring them to fruition. Its easier to let go and walk away towards that which seems to be within grasp, yet that which is beyond the grasp always requires more - both from within and without.
The time and effort that has been put into the work should not be regarded as ‘wasted’ because its necessary to make you into what you need to be in order do what you have to do. Look at the current Prime Minister Gordon Brown as an example. He felt that he should have been the Prime Minister in 1997 rather than Tony Blair, yet he had to work as Chancellor of the Exchequer (Head of British Treasury) before he could become what he thought he deserved he ought to have been earlier. Even if he thought he was ready for it, Tony Blair was perhaps ‘better’ prepared to take on the role than Gordon was, and is..?
What’s important here is that focus must be maintained whilst the dream is transpiring. The periods of incubation, design, invention, testing etcetera are all necessary to create the backbone of the product or service that you intend to deliver as well as strengthen your own backbone!
So its worthwhile to remain steadfast on what you truly believe, to stand firmer on whats true and right for you. Otherwise, the ’slings and arrows’ of the environment will always pull and push you around. If that is something that you are happy with, or you prefer to settle for something that is routine, that’s fine, and many are. But if you want to establish something that you believe in your heart to be true, right and needed, it will require you to take a firm stand and persist. Moreover, if you believe in your dream to be inspired from the heavens, and you hold a reliance in your Creator to deliver those things that in your best interest, then all that happens in such times are aspects necessary to prepare you for the future.
Believe in yourself and your dream and stand firm. Results will follow as a product and money, recognition and other things will follow that as a by-product.
As I said, if you believe in your dream then take a stand and then get ready to take-off!! Michael Jordan knew all about standing tall, taking a stand, moving gracefully, adapting, taking off, and holding the air, all as and when necessary; “Enjoy the flight!”
