To turn a dream into reality, take action

01/11/07 08:15 Filed in: GROW process | Will do
What do you want to do? Things I want to do include:
  • Living in a cottage in the Lake District.
  • Coaching Christian leaders via cell phone while hiking around Grasmere.
  • Creating and facilitating effective communities of practice for Christian leaders, while looking out over the ocean at Takayama.
  • Running 10 miles in the Yorkshire Dales without breathing hard.
  • Getting regularly published in print and online.
  • Consulting for Christian organizations worldwide via videoconferencing, while drinking coffee in a café in Windsor.
  • Going for long walks along a deserted beach with my wife.
  • Working with others to develop an online teacher training program regarding helping students apply a Biblical perspective to what they study, while looking out over Lake Nojiri.
  • Celebrating my daughters’ birthday parties in person for as long as I live.
  • Creating a podcast for iTunes that empowers Christian leaders to close the gap, while staying in a farmhouse in Kilmihil.
I want to do lots of things. And I enjoy dreaming about doing them. But I know that my “want to’s” will only be enjoyable dreams until I will them into reality. Until I change “want to” into “will do.” Until I take action.

Bottom line: To turn dreams into reality, you must take action.

Will a dream into reality. Today.
