A Hundred Years From Now

Application in your life:

The dream you decide on should be acted upon quickly and be considered a long dream. The key to dreaming big is thinking long. And the bigger the dream the longer the timeline.
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln both had dreams that are still relevant today, hundreds of years later. George Washington when going into the Battle of Long Island he said, "The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army."
Abraham Lincoln also stated when trying to abolish slavery only needing two votes said this, "The abolition of slavery by constitutional provisions settles the fate, for all...time, not only of the millions now in bondage but of unborn millions to come -- a measure of such importance that those two votes must be procured."

What are you doing today that will make a difference one hundred years from now?

Biggest Takeaway:

Every dream, no matter how big, starts out as a seed. And like a seed, it often goes underground for a season. That's when we get discouraged because we don't see any physical evidence of the dream's progress. But it has to take root before it can bear fruit.

Quotes:

You are planting seeds that someone else will harvest, just as you are harvesting seeds that someones else planted.
If we don't honor those who have gone before us, we rob them of the opportunity to bless those who come behind.

Integrity, Maturity, Abundance Mentality. Integrity is the values we place ourselves into. Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration.

A character rich in integrity, maturity, and the Abundance Mentality has a genuineness that goes far beyond technique, or lack of it, in human interaction. If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.

Are You A Gap Filler?

What is Gap Filler You May Ask? A gap filler is someone who has the ability and awareness to see opportunities and challenges around them, then fill them. When there is a gap in communication, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in leadership, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in love, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in work, someone has to fill the void. It is self-explanatory to understand that a gap filler, fills gaps. It is also very easy to misunderstand the importance and strength it takes to be a gap filler. Practically this looks like covering a shift of another co-worker, looks like overcommunicating to others that may bring conflict upon yourself, taking the burden of hurt from others and their trama, as well as taking the blame knowingly when another leader falls short. This is a heavy burden sometimes because you have to be the glue that holds seemingly everything together. But, take heart, b...

A Dream Within a Dream

Summary: In the second chapter of Chase the Lion, we come to the Wright brothers and how they had a dream that was actually inspired by there dads interest in birds. They later came to be the first humans to fly. Inception is another topic in how we are to perceive our dreams. Inception is a dream within a dream within a dream, in our non-fiction life we can look and see that as a sign that our dream necessarily doesn't come from us. God can expose our dreams to us through other individuals. For the Wright brothers, it was a book they read when they were 29. It could be your parents, teachers, or coaches dream. It comes down to how you interact with other people, life is about relationships you never know who may plant a dream in you that is waiting to be revealed. Our greatest legacy isn't our dream.
