It seems that I write on this subject a
lot, and every time these posts generate an above average number of clicks and
comments. And well it should, for this
is a critical piece in the continuing development of every human being.
My friend Jesse is a minister. His father is a retired minister. In a phone conversation recently Jesse told
me that his father prepares a fresh sermon every week. When Jesse questioned why, his father replied, “Well, Son, you never know when I may be
asked to preach and I want to be ready.”
He saw himself still in the pulpit
sharing the good news. He still holds
onto hope that he can bring hope to some weary soul.
Seeing self in the middle of your dream
is important. If you can put yourself
into the picture when you visualize your dream, then you are in a better
position of making the dream come to life.
I don’t think of myself as one who occasionally
has typos when he writes. I see one who
is creative and has a good outflow of material and ideas. You see, I’m a writer.
What do you see when you think about self? What are you really? Where are you?
What are you accomplishing? What
have you accomplished?
I love the picture at the top of this
page. I think this kind of mindset gives
one a real hope on which to hold.
Perhaps this lady is living a fantasy life, and that is okay. If it brings her joy and remembrances of days
gone by, then well and good.
I think too many of us have forgotten how
to dream. Even in old age our dreams
could extend our years. Perhaps we have
to adapt them in small or large ways to accommodate an aging body, and so we
adapt.
And we keep on dreaming and remembering
and we hold onto hope.
WE HOLD
ONTO HOPE!
Twenty something’s
Forty something’s
Fifty and sixty something’s
And eighty-something’s dream and hope and
see a glowing world in their future.
