Visions and Dreams

The Art of Dream Building and Goal Setting

Dream building will bring energy to your life. Dreams bring hope and reignite our desires. Living without dreaming makes you weak in your soul. Dream building energizes the soul. The art of dreaming again renews your youth.

Vision is the key to dream building. You will not be able to dream, unless you also have the ability to see, which is vision. Vision gives birth to dreams. You must be able to see a thing before you can have dreams concerning it.

A dream consists of desires. Dreams are energized by desires. Multitudes have lost their ability to dream or dream build. There are three important things to know about desires.

Desire begins in the abstract (invisible, intangible)
Desire must be brought into concrete (visible, tangible)
Taking a desire from the abstract to the concrete requires persistence

Persistence has three phases:

First phase – the desire feels like it may be impossible to receive or achieve. The person with the desire may feel that they are lying to themselves at times.
Second phase – in this phase the one with the desire has to resist the temptation to quit or give up the desire.
Third phase – is the point of no return, at this stage the one with the desire, fully believes, is fully committed and has passed the other phases.
