It Began With a Mouse

If you tour a Disney property you will eventually come across this slogan.  “Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.”  As one who believes that every person on earth was created with a God-sized purpose, I know that whatever your dream is that “All things are possible…”

Directive:  Tell life to “take a number.” Set aside time to dream and envision your future. You will never be the same.

Dreaming is About our Vision of the Future

When I coach someone through the GPS Life Journey I encourage them to dream and envision their future.  Here is what the GPS curriculum says about dreaming and visioning. “Your vision is where you are going. It is where you need to go to fulfill your mission. It describes what the future will look like when you accomplish your mission.”  “You should be very passionate about your vision. It should bring great excitement and a sense of anticipation into your life.”  Those who participate in the sessions set aside time to dream and envision their future.  It may start slowly, but they begin to dream again.

Keep Your Eye on the Ball
Every yard gained in the red-zone comes with great difficulty.  We all face our own 300 pound linemen in the form of being disappointed with life, tired and wanting a rest, having lost our vision for the future and an array of other formidable enemies.  Going all the way in life is not easy.  Some tragically stop having made it 80% of the way.  Don’t wimp out on the last 20 yards.  Remember, you have a secret weapon.  It’s your natural ability that is now combined with experience and influence.  As my friend leading the seminar told us, “You have leverage!”  So, take it and change the world!
