DREAMS DON'T PAY THE BILLS

See, there is nothing wrong with dreaming that is why we are told "when you dream, dream big".

But, to what end is a dream that is not worked on??Is it just enough to dream? Will you become because you dreamt??Do dreams pay the bills?

The obvious answers to these questions should be a wake-up call for you.

It is not enough to just dream. In fact, it is worthless to dream without more.

Dreams require work - hard work to make them real. Dreams require the “art of doing” to actualize them.

Never in our history have dreams become reality without work no matter how beautiful and wishful they were.

So this week, please do not dream and fantasize about the outcomes.

Get to work. Get to work on the things that connect you to your dreams. Set your dreams into phases, stages, and events. Work towards the basics and ensure the foundation is set. Then activate the building blocks one at a time toward the realities of your dream.

Only then can you be assured the bills will be paid and the rewards will be certain. Less that, we will be right in describing you as a dreamer.

Don’t just be a dreamer - do the hard work to make your dreams come true.

Dreams do come through only that way.

Love this Richard Nunekpeku . The interesting twist with dreams that actually happen is to dream with your eyes wide open!

Absolutely! Dreams are just the start. It's the hard work and action that turn them into reality. Set goals, work diligently, and make it happen.
