I’m not sure what book I was reading when it referenced this quote, but it was so powerful that I had to write on it. After looking it up, I found that it comes from Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence:

“All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.”

I’ve been a passive dreamer before, and let me tell you, people who live passively often end up drowning in regret because they procrastinated their way through life. One thing life will show you is that whether you do something or do nothing, time still passes. And if that’s the case, we might as well do something. We might as well go after our dreams.

When we start, we won’t have everything figured out, but all we really need to get going is the will to move forward. If we have that along with a touch of faith and perseverance we’ll become more resourceful as we go. I’m big on asking the Lord to order my steps, to give me wisdom, and to fill me with His Spirit because I don’t want to do anything alone. I need Him with me.

So my question today is, what kind of dreamer are you? Don’t sit on the sidelines when you could be in the game, impacting lives. You hear me talk about imagination all the time it’s one of the greatest gifts God has given us. But if we don’t act on the dreams He placed in our hearts, they’ll never happen. And I believe we will be held accountable for what we do with those dreams.

I’m training myself to dream bigger. Anytime doubt creeps in when I’m thinking beyond what seems possible, I remind myself to go even bigger. Because what you think might take 20 years could actually take 10, then you look back and realize you wasted a decade with no goals or objectives. And for dreamers like me, that can feel like a slow death.

So do yourself a favor—make the dream so big that it feels impossible to achieve in your lifetime.
