On Dreams, Strength, Patience & Passion…

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Harriet Tubman

The dream, that’s the easy part and then comes the needed strength (mental, spiritual, physical, etc. ) necessary to implement the dream in spite of whatever obstacles, challenges may seem to stand in the way.

What’s your dream? Do you have the patience to see it through? How about the passion to keep on keeping on when nothing seems to be happening and you’re tempted to give up? Is your dream, a “difference making” dream? If it is, then you have a long list of “difference makers” narratives to draw upon, to learn from, and be inspired by…Men and women who faced unfathomable obstacles and yet lived to see their “difference making” dreams come true. What’s your dream?
