God is dreaming. Are you?
Dreaming of a great life and Living the Dream are not the same thing.
Here’s the question: What is better in your life right now than it was this time last year? Name your progress.
Jesus didn’t die so you could dream.
Jesus died so you could Live the Dream!
Living the Dream is not a destination. Living the Dream is a process, a journey, an awesome adventure!
If you haven’t set goals, made plans and started working towards your dream, your dream is just a fantasy! (adapted from Jeff Robinson)
Fantasies are unproductive. Dreams produce results.
Fantasies are fleeting, inconsistent. Dreams have focus.
Fantasies stretch your imagination. Dreams stretch you.
Fantasies may inspire you. A dream can change your life.
Fantasies are unrealistic expectations. Dreams are balanced in reality.
Fantasies are free. Dreams have a cost.
Fantasies require only imagination. Dreams require hard work.
