Dare to Dream

If you have a dream, give it a chance to happen. - Richard de Vos

Dreams do come true… for a few “lucky” people, perhaps one in a hundred or a thousand. For the rest of the population, not only do they not achieve their dreams, many do not even dare to dream! So why are some people able to achieve their dreams while the majority fail to do so? Is it really a matter of luck? Of course not! And neither is it simply a matter of IQ, what family we were born into, what colour or race we are, or even what circumstances or opportunities life deals us.

The good news is: dreams do come true – and not by accident or by pure luck. We can all make our dreams come true by applying a set of strategies that can be easily learned and put into practice by anyone, regardless of background, education level or circumstances. Now if you have gotten even this far in picking up this book, your chances of making your dream come true are indeed very high.

Most of us started off in life with dreams, some with huge dreams. At ten or fifteen, some of us are declaring to all who care to listen, “When I grow up, I’m going to be the best dancer in the world,” or “I’m going to marry a Prince Charming and live in the most beautiful castle,” or for the guys, “I’m going to be the richest man in the world!” But unfortunately as the years catch up with us, many of those dreams get shrouded by doubts of our own ability, disillusion with the world, people around us telling us, “Hey, be realistic! Just get yourself a good job, work hard and you’ll be OK.” For many, the dream simply dissipates, and with it, the will to shape our destinies.

The other day, I heard a pastor say, “All of us are born with great potential. It’s up to us whether that potential reaches fulfillment or disintegration.” How very true.

What you need to do right now is to unshackle your mind and set it free from the chains you have put upon it. We want you to dare to dream again. And not only to dream, but to make those dreams come true!
