Dream Big

When you walk outside and look around at the world and take note of what you see? What do you find when you are standing in the road looking around? What do you see when you look up tot the sky? What do you see when you go to the middle of the city? What do you find in this world when you really take the time to look at it? I know that if you really look around you, will find some of the greatest things ever created.

When you think back in time to how things have run and how people have worked throughout the past, it is amazing to realize and to think about how people survived on what they did. It is also amazing to see what those same people accomplished with what little they actually had.

Think of Egypt. Think of the pyramids that they built and how every stone had to be made and stacked by hand. Think of the Greeks and the empire that they built. Think of the architecture and the amazing buildings that still stand today. Think of our Founding Fathers, and what they had to go through to get us the country we have today. Think of the Wright Brothers and the first airplane that ever flew. Think of the man Neal Armstrong. The man who not only flew into outer space, but the man who also walked on the moon. Think of electricity, telephones, cars, the internet.

All of these things came about because someone had a dream. Someone had a dream that they could change something in this world. And not only did they have a dream, but they were willing to act on that dream. They were willing to take a chance and see if they could make their dream a reality. All of the great things is this world took a dream. Everything that has happened is because someone had the guts to dream about it and then to believe that it could become more then just a dream. Someone dared to dream big. Bigger than anyone who had come before them and bigger then anyone who would come after them.

T.E. Lawrence said "Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, for they may act on their dream with open eyes and make it possible." All of the great things came about by great people. All of the great people dreamed, but they dreamed with their eyes opened. It is only those who dream with their eyes open that accomplish anything great.

Everything has to start with a dream. Don't be afraid to be the one to dream it.
