Dream "Big"

Your success is in your dream Dreamers create change!
Dreams are built on the lives of people who never quit and believe that the impossible is possible. The enthusiasm of pursuing the dream that is there in the beginning of the pursuit can wane through the journey before the dream comes to full fruition. You may feel the dream has grown distant, or lost, or even has died. But don’t lose hope, don’t abandon your dream, don’t stop pursuing your dream. Except the seed falls to the earth and dies it abides alone. But if it dies it will spring forth into something bigger and greater. In the ground the earth provides nutrients to the seed that causes it to transition into what it was created to be. When you with your dreams seem they have gotten burried in the darkness of your struggles don't abandon your dreams but look for the nutrients in that darkness to resurrect your dreams. Most all great dreamers who saw their dreams come to fruition went through a time of great darkness. It was in these times of great darkness that they found nutrients that prepared them to handle the fruition of their dreams. Looking at the seed you do not see all that it was "created to be." Your dream as a seed does not reveal all you were "created to be." But in your dream seed is your miracle to bring forth that which you were "created to be." Don’t stop feeding, nurturing and pursuing your dream when all feels lost and hopeless and even dead. By continuing to feed, nurture and pursue your dream you drive out hopelessness, uselessness and a devaluation of yourself. But in your dream you create hope, usefulness and a sense of value to your life. Before you were formed in the womb God knew you and put a dream in your heart to be fulfilled, Jeremiah 1:5.
Here is the paradox to all of this. Dead seeds when planted in the ground will not bring forth fruit. Seeds must be living above the ground before they are planted or else you plant them in vain. But in the ground they must die or they will not grow. This death-like process of the seed is called “germination.” Dead seeds cannot be germinated. It takes living seeds in order to be germinated. You could say the seed dies and then is born again. The real process in reality is metamorphosis. Seeds in the ground or a caterpillar in the cocoon is a metamorphosis which must take place or the butterfly and fruit will never come into existence. This whole process of the seed and caterpillar is called the “Life Cycle.” Dreams that are truly successful all have a “life cycle.” If you try to modify this life cycle of the dream and bring it into existence through manipulation the dream will be weak and empty of strength and substance to be sustained. We can see plenty of examples of this process being manipulated where things fell apart. Young athletes who are offered large sums of money in a contract who get caught up in their quick success fail later. At some point in time they must go through this life cycle process to be strong and able to handle their success.
You should not find value in what you do but in being who you were created to be. The things you accomplish bring you a sense of reward and a good conscience of having done well. But your valve cannot come from what you do because what you accomplish is a roller coaster ride of emotions. You must find your value in your Creator that gives you consistent value at every level of your growth and development. The seed is not much to look at and in the natural at that moment of being a seed does not appear to be much. But the seed has great value because of what it is at that moment. As the seed grows and develops at every level the seed has value. The seeds of the great horse Secretariat had great value and as the foals/colts grew they continued to have value. Your Creator has created you uniquely as a one-of-a-kind. He has given you a purpose and equipped you with the tools of gifts and talents to fulfill your purpose. Your Creator reveals your purpose by putting visions and dreams in you. You become all that you were "created to be." Being who you are "created to be" releases energy and passion for life.
