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. T.E. Lawrence

Day dreamers. Just staring into the clouds and dreaming…..in the middle of the day.

Who would have thought they were the dangerous men?

There are two elements of this equation.

We must dream with our eyes open. When was the last time you set aside a few minutes to just dream about what your future might look like?

When was the last time you imagined what you will look like after you lose the weight?

When was the last time you imagined that second home somewhere warm?

When was the last time you imagined writing that big check to your favorite charity?

When was the last time you imagined that commission check with two digits before the comma?

But it doesn’t stop at the dreaming. It starts there. Getting that mental picture, making it sharper and then holding on to it.

“For they may act on their dreams with open eyes”. The next part is action. It always boils down to doing things differently.

Use that dream to make the action easier.

It is a lot easier to work out in the morning with a dream of what you are going to look like when you are done.

It is a lot easier to save and invest your money when it is attached to that beautiful home in Florida.

It is a lot easier to work a little harder and save a little more when you imagine the difference you can make.

It is a lot easier to make that extra call or go the extra mile when you can imagine the pay off in the end.

The dreams will pull you through those hard days when you don’t feel like doing anything.

Find some time to dream today….start this process for yourself and see just how far you can go.
