Can You Imagine?

Perhaps the most beautiful and yet haunting song of the 1970’s was John Lennon’s, “Imagine.”  I first heard it in the same place I heard all music of that era, driving in my dune buggy.  What I did not know at the time was that it was inspired by a Christian prayer book Lennon had been reading.  According to a published interview, Lennon said he envisioned a peaceful world, “not without religion but without this my God-is-bigger-than-your-God thing…”  Whether you embrace Lennon’s view of utopia or not, there is no denying that the man and his composition were big on vision.

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.
