Can You Answer Yes to the Question: What Is My Dream?
If you are unsure of what your dream might be— either because you are afraid to dream or because you somehow lost your dream along the way—then start preparing yourself to receive your dream by exploring the following:
Mental preparation: Read and study in areas of your greatest interest.
Experiential preparation: Engage in activities in areas related to your interests.
Visual preparation: Put up pictures of people and things that inspire you.
Hero preparation: Read about and try to meet people you admire and who inspire you.
Physical preparation: Get your body in optimal shape to pursue your dream.
Spiritual preparation: Seek God’s help for a bigger-than-self dream.
Once you do these six things to put yourself in the best possible position to receive a dream, focus on discovering your dream.
“A dream is what you desire if anything and everything is possible.”

5 Common Reasons Why People Have Trouble Identifying Their Dream
1. People have been discouraged from dreaming by others.
Many people have had their dreams knocked right out of them! The world is filled with dream crushers and idea killers.
2. People are hindered by past disappointments and hurts.
Disappointment is the gap that exists between expectation and reality. All of us have encountered that gap. When something goes wrong, we say, “I’ll never do that again!” What a mistake, especially when it comes to our dreams! Failure is the price we must pay to achieve success.
3. People get in the habit of settling for average.
“The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.”
Dreams require a person to stretch, to go beyond average. You can’t reach for a dream and remain safely mediocre at the same time. The two are incompatible.
4. People lack the confidence needed to pursue their dreams.
“It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.”
It takes confidence to talk about a dream and even more to pursue it. And sometimes confidence separates the people who dream and pursue those dreams from those who don’t.
5. Some people lack the imagination to dream.
How do people discover their dreams?
By dreaming! That may sound overly simplistic, but that’s where it starts. Imagination is the soil that brings a dream to life.
