Nothing makes a dream come alive like writing your idea down and creating a prototype and determining what resources are required to pursue your dream. The following testimony could be you. What happened? A mother and a daughter decided to take the Live Your Dream – Dream Sheets and use them to layout the road map to their dream.
My daughter and I put our heads together on our idea, made some of them, then prayed and asked around for a patent lawyer. We met with one on Feb. 25 and had a list of questions we asked and showed him our idea. When he saw it, he loved it, and loved the idea and that there were so many different distributors we could market to. My goal is–to market our product, bring in more money and give back to God. (I truly believe that you cannot out give God).”
It is often said that some of the most brilliant ideas were conceived over a meal and written on a paper napkin! Your idea may be brilliant but that’s just the beginning! We have provided you with a workbook to help you formulate the dream that’s in your heart!
How? Research what your dream requires. Ask yourself this question: What price is too high to pay? Breakdown the cost of your dream on a personal level by asking these questions:
- What will my dream cost me personally – financially and emotionally?
- What will my dream cost my family? My marriage?
- What will my dream require from my current free time? Ask yourself, are you willing to give up your free time to pursue the dream that’s in your heart, or to learn a new skill, take a class, build a prototype, set a goal? Consider the price before you embark!

Have you ever wondered, “How do I put my dream to the test?” What measurements, standards or costs are associated with your dream? Anything worth having has a price attached!
To improve your game skills as an athlete you have to practice, practice, practice. Likewise, in the daily pursuit of our dream sometimes we don’t feel like carrying on, but the sheer will of fortitude, the desire to win and the constant challenge to press beyond our current capabilities keeps us charging forward toward our destination.
Never give up, stretch the extra mile, and always discover the cost of your dream!

Consider: does my dream capitalize on my strengths and minimize my weaknesses? The law of least effort says you will find your purpose where you find your natural rhythm in life!
Ponder: does my dream get me excited about helping others?
Meditate: where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? How will you know that you have achieved your ultimate success?
Remember…it’s never too late or never too early to begin dreaming! You’re never too poor or too limited to dream!
Today let’s push out of the comfort zone and enter the Idea Zone! You won’t regret it!

Have you ever asked yourself, “How do I live my dream? Where do I begin?”
Abraham, a man of God in the bible, desired to have a family. He and his wife were very old, beyond the child bearing age. But God gave Abraham a dream and told him to “look up at the sky and count the stars, that’s how many descendants you will have!”
Maybe life’s struggles or hard economic times tell you to downsize your dream, but ideas are meant to be SUPERSIZED! You can dream big and live large with your ideas! The story is told of the shoe salesmen that arrived in Africa. As he deplaned he saw that the people had no shoes so immediately packed up and went home! Another shoe salesmen upon arriving in Africa immediately corresponded with the home office and told them send me as many shoes as you can the African shoe market is completely untapped!
So where do you begin today? When capturing your dream, take off the limits! You are like a star in the sky, shining with potential. If each one of us dares to dream the impossible we can change our lives, our families and our communities! http://bit.ly/1y7SUbs
In our last two Blogs we discussed the importance of asking the right questions when qualifying the dream that is in our heart! Today we take a look at:
Question #3 Is My Dream Good for Me?
If you are a woman, it is likely that you have never even asked this question. Most women spend the majority of their time taking care of their families–their husband, their children, maybe even their neighbor’s kids or a whole host of people but rarely do they stop to ask the question: Is my dream good for me?
This last and all important question helps us qualify whether or not we have the strength to pursue our dreams. No dream is accomplished by good luck, super charm or because the planets align in a particular supernatural order. NO – I HAVE LEARNED OVER THE YEARS that anything worth having will extract a price, on the road to obtaining your end goal. SO, THE QUESTION FOR YOU TODAY is…
Do I have the strength to make that choice to pursue the desire that is in my heart?
I believe you do! Think on it…. It’s worth your time! http://bit.ly/1IvK0uC

In our last Blog we discussed the importance of establishing a “LITMUS TEST” a standard by which we can evaluate or qualify our dreams. Today we continue with:
Question #2 Is My Dream Good for People? We could also ask: Is My Dream Good for Others?
Remember you can rise above average and discover a purpose that will not only benefit you and your family but your dream can benefit those around you! Creating win-win scenarios for people unlocks great potential and resource, and it paves a way for others to join you in your business, mission or project. Remember… solving a problem for someone else is a clear path to your own problems being solved! The business world calls this a “win-win” attitude–a situation where everyone can benefit. Many people call it Karma, in other words, what comes around goes around. But I like to say it this way: Give — and it will be given back to you in abundance! Luke 6:38 http://bit.ly/1CqzMuF

What measurements or parameters can you put in place to evaluate the dream that is in your heart?
I like to begin with a LITMUS test. What is a litmus test? In this application a litmus test establishes parameters that help us to make a judgment about whether our dream is acceptable. It will help you establish a solid-foundation for defining your dream by asking three important questions. Look for Questions #2 & #3 in later blogs.
Question #1: Is My Dream Good for God? This is a simple, yet profound question that allows you to value your dream. I can tell you that God’s will is not a mystery or drudgery. Knowing God’s will produces confidence! When you can say, “my dream is within the will of God,” it is as if God Himself is saying this must be done.
How else might we ask the question: Is My Dream Good for God? Give these questions a try:
- What would God want me to do to better or improve the world around me?
- What is His highest and best will for my life?
- What is in my heart in abundance? Ancient scripture says, that God gives us the desires of our heart. Or rather, he puts the “His” desires in our heart. (Ps 37:4) http://bit.ly/1GVs4Zf

Have you ever wondered, how do I begin living my dream? Maybe you’ve thought, How can I dream when I am so busy and have so many responsibilities? Or perhaps you have an idea, but you might ask… Where do I find the inspiration to begin? Or… What do I do with the inspiration that I feel?”
REMEMBER: DREAMS need an action plan and strategic intention in order to move forward. A dream of the heart without a plan, simply put, is nothing more than a fantasy. To become reality, dreams must be accompanied by a plan of action! But don’t worry! That’s why I have created my Live Your Dream –7 Step Dream Sheets. For a limited time only, they are free. This workbook has helped many people just like you open the door to a new future! Take some time today and download my free gift to you! http://bit.ly/1CqyS1i

Quote: “In 40 years I’ve realized that the payments required for reaching a dream never stop. The higher you want to go the more you must give up and the greater price you pay, the greater joy you feel when you finally reach your dream!” – John Maxwell
Keep the Dream alive whatever it takes! Ask these questions: How long before I succeed? What if I fail on my first attempt?
Look for incremental progress, because it always takes longer than you expect! Don’t live in the desire for completion, live in the reality of incremental change. As long as you are moving forward you are making progress!
At 11 years old, Kevin McNulty imagined himself playing on the tennis courts of WIMBLEDON. His dream sustained him through physical impairments, poverty and an environment where no one believed in him. All the ODDS were AGAINST HIM! Eventually Kevin won several university scholarships, became a junior’s tennis champion, captain of the university’s tennis team, and was recently recognized as one of the top 25 players in the 100 year history of the Michigan State University tennis program! Although he never played Wimbledon, HIS DREAM allowed him to soar to heights that no one believed he could reach!
Imagination is unique to humanity…to every individual who dares to dream!
Dare to Dream! Dare to soar with your imagination!
