DREAMING IS NOT
FOR THE FAINT
HEARTED

Accomplishing your dreams is not an easy task. Yes,
you can have more than one dream. God often gives
us more than one. Dreaming is not for the faint
hearted. God did not promise that life would be easy.
Getting to your dreams requires a lot and some
people are not willing to do what it takes to get there.
The people who recognize that dreams take hard
work and are willing to put in the work, they will see
the fruits of their labor. Those that refuse to put in the
work will remain in the same place week after week,
month after month and year after year unless they
accept that hard work is required and then they

For those that are ready to put in the work to reach
their dreams, there are some things that must be

your dreams, you must have a prayer life, embrace

ask God to reveal the plans HE has for your life. HE
created you so HE knows what direction you need to
go. When you receive the answer, do not question it
and do not depart from it. Departing from God’s plan
for your life will cause chaos and give the enemy
room to come in and cause more damage.

strengths and gifts is key to starting on your
road to success. It is important to recognize
that you have gifts and talents that someone
needs. You have a unique gift.
God has placed greatness on the inside of
you and the sooner you re
