Go For It - Fight for Your Dreams!

Pat Williams challenges us to see a vision and act on it.

Go for it!

That is Pat's advice.

To that I would add the following:

GO

G - Get ready to dream. Clear your mind of impossibility thinking and faithlessness. Negativity must go. Position yourself to dream.

O - Open your mind. Open your heart. Open yourself to God, to others, to the possibility of possibilities.Free yourself to imagine what has never been.

FOR

F - Face your challenges and stare them down. Acknowledge your weaknesses and take command of your life. Face the facts, but don't let the facts freeze in time. There is nothing that does not change except God Himself.

O - Overcome. Decide that you will be an overcomer. You will never live, "under the circumstances." You will be the cream that rises to the top of life.

R - Retreat and Reflect. Get alone with your thoughts and prayers. Find a place and give yourself time to flesh out a dream. Let it run wild. Write it down. You can sort it out later. Don't let anything restrict your thinking. Postpone practical considerations.

IT

I - It. The word can mean almost anything and you decide what IT is. What is the it of it? What is the core of your dream. Is it greater than your own pleasure and fulfillment? Will it better the world for others. Will it bring honor to God? Will it lift people? Will it extend beyond your lifetime? Consider it and if your it is too small, go back to the retreat and expand it.

T - Tell others. Don't keep it to yourself. Risk humiliation and ridicule. If you tell enough people, you can expect some of that, but you will also find allies. Reject the negative responses and keep listening for the encouragement that will come. By telling others of your dream, you are making a commitment to it. You are climbing out on a limb where you MUST perform.

Not, fight for your dreams because in doing so, you will be fighting for your life!

Here is to your dreams!
