KEY COMPONENT TO MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE: DO SOMETHING!

John Maxwell's most recent book, "Put Your Dream To The Test," is yet another success story in help us grow as individuals as well as in helping us improve our teams. The passage below is simply about doing something towards making your dreams comes true:

The real difference between a dream and wishful thing is what yo do day to day. John Ruskin, an English author, art critic, and social commentator, said, "What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do." To reach your dream, you must...

1. Do something.
The process starts by doing something-- doing anything if you are a naturally sedentary person or someone who is discouraged. Declaration of Independence signer John Hancock asserted, "All worthwhile people have good thoughts, good ideas and good intentions, but precious few of them every translate those into action.

2.Do something today that relates to your dream.
Runner, author, and cardiologist George Sheehan observed, "There are those of us who are always about to live. We are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down -- until, until, until. It always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living." If you want to achieve your dreams, you cannot allow yourself to be one those people.
