What is your dream?

Some people may have a difficult time answering this question. In years past, I would shrug my shoulders or silently stare off into the distance. When asked of my dreams, it would feel as though I was standing before a huge audience with a microphone and knocking knees behind a podium. A lack of confidence was my greatest hindrance. Past disappointments really hit me hard.

Some are challenged because they lack clarity of their dreams. For anyone that has a difficult time sharing their dream, Maxwell suggest the following:

• Read and study in areas of your greatest interest.
• Engage in activities related to your interests.
• Put up pictures of people and things that inspire you.
• Read about and try to meet people you admire and who inspire you.
• Get your body in optimal shape to pursue your dream.
• Seek supernatural help for a bigger-than-self dream.

After spending some time thinking through these points answer the following questions to help you get better acquainted with your dreams and boost your confidence to share and pursue your dreams.

• What would I do if I had no limitations?
• What would I do if I had only five years to live?
• What would I do if I had unlimited resources?
• What would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail?
• What are my gifts?
• What are five things I like about myself?
• What people make me feel special?
• What moment of personal triumph do I remember?

Now can I ask you a question? What is your dream?
