The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.
~Sarah Ban Breathnach, Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy, 1996
Early on in my blogging journey I shared one of my inspirational reads that helped me to discover “Me”. Today’s inspirational quote is taken from that book.
I am a dreamer but I have not been a consistent doer in all things. In early 2012 my pastor preached a sermon that helped me to easily identify why I did not always reach my dream—I do not always follow through. Yep it was true, I often lacked the stamina to see my dream become reality. Once aware of this truth I could hardly ignore the cold, hard fact and God in His faithfulness wasn’t going to let it go either. So I embarked on a journey toward goal setting with accountability–much of the time blogging about my successes. I still miss the mark but it happens less frequently now. And as His word says, as I have become faithful in small things, larger things have been entrusted to my care(Luke 16:10).
We need to be dreamers who do because as the quote says, the world needs us.

I’m not sure it’s always a lack of stamina. Lack of time and energy contribute too.

Yes indeed. However I firmly believe that there are things that we are suppose to do, part of our purpose here on earth, and when we don’t get them done for whatever reason we a not fulfilling our God given opportunities. When we “miss” those opportunities we can find ourselves dissatisfied with our life and wonder why.
As always, thanks for the comment.
