We are focused on the vision/dream for our life right now.
I’ll never forget the very first time I was exposed to dreaming/visioning. I was thirteen years old attending basketball camp at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Our speaker for the day was a very successful Ohio high school basketball coach by the name of Paul Walker. He coached the Middletown Middies from 1946 to 1976 and won five state championships along the way.
Early in his speech he asked how many of us had a dream. I believe most of us raised our hands. He then asked how many of us had put the dream in writing. None of us raised our hands.
He then said, “A dream remains a dream until you write it down. Â Writing it down is the first step in creating a plan for your dream. Â You don’t execute a dream, you execute a plan.”
Have you put your dream in writing yet?
What do you aspire to be?
I remember writing my first dream down on a 3 x 5 index card after I got home from that basketball camp in 1972. Â I wrote, “I will play professional basketball.” Â From that point forward I looked at that index card almost every day.
My dream drove me to work very hard at the game of basketball and at the age of 24 I had received a couple of offers to play professionally overseas. Â That would not have happened if I hadn’t put my dream in writing.
A dream with a plan (vision) is very powerful.
