Dreams

Every human being created by God is born with a dream. Dreams are not just visions or mental pictures that we experience when we are asleep but these are strong and vivid pictures of what our future holds for us. Successful people are those that have pursued their dreams. They are people who have mastered the art of life and have put in their hearts into what they hope to achieve. Women, who have dreams to have their lives transformed for the better, are the ones who will make it.

Dreams entail a clear image of what you want to become or what you want to achieve. A dream will cause you to have direction in life. It will cause you to make certain choices and decisions that will add value to your dream. A dream will make you to make decisions on who to associate with and how to relate to them.

How to identify your dream
A dream is more or less your vision or your mental perception of what you hope to become or what you hope to achieve. A dream is basically a passion that you have. Find out what you are passionate about, know what you desire to do and what you desire to become. A dream will keep you unsettled and on your feet until you see it in motion. A dream is what you hope to fulfill before you depart mother earth.

A dream is always that desire that always compels you to work hard. It is simply a hunger and a thirst for something. It is a quest to succeed. Find out what is it exactly that you desire doing. A dream is what will give you sleepless nights and it is not something that will give you rest before it’s completed. Every human being has a dream. Work on your desire and find out what your dream is because it is only that which you desire to that you will do.

How to develop your dream
Dreams are like seeds that need to be nurtured and if not, will die quickly. I personally have learnt that the reason why some people never succeed nor realize their dreams is that they have sat on their dreams expecting their dreams to work yet it is only you who can work towards your dream to see it fulfilled and accomplished.

First and foremost, you have to take into cognition that you may not be the only one with that kind of dream but what will differentiate you from the person who share the same dream with you is the effort that you put towards the attainment of that dream and the results thereof.

Write your dream down and whatsoever effort you are putting towards it. One man once said whatever is not documented is not done and can be easily disregarded. By writing it down you can often refer to it and see the progress that you are making.

Allow your dream to become a part of you. By this I mean that meditate upon your dream and ensure that you have personalized it and made it yours. By this you will ensure that nothing will separate you from your dream and by all means you will fulfill it.

The second thing is to ensure that you relate with the right people. By this I mean associate with people who have more or less a dream like yours and these people must be preferably those that have gone before you. By relating to these people you will learn how they have accomplished their and you will learn of the mistakes that they have encountered and how they came out of them paving a safer way for yourself. If you dream to be a business woman, for you it means making a decision to associate with them that have been in business before and learn the language that they speak and learn skills that are essential to your dream. If you see yourself in ministry, the same principle applies. These people are basically you mentors who will teach you the dos and the don’ts that account to your dream.

Sacrifice is one of the things that will ensure your success. Sacrifice and give yourself wholly to your dream. This means sacrificing what needed to ensure that your dream is coming to pass. Your dream is a seed that needs to be watered and taken care of. Sacrificing your time and money is one essential for the development of your dream. Get material and go places that will help you nurture that dream.

The other thing is to talk about it. Some people fear that if they talk about their dreams, people may laugh at them or people may steal their ideas but remember that no matter how many people may have the same dream with you, it is only how you work it out that matter. Talking about it will enable you to get ideas from other people and it will enable other people to but into your dream or even correct you where you may be going wrong. Talk about your dream to people to trust and to them that may be able to help you.

And a bonus ladies, commit your plans and dreams to God and he will surely ensure that victory be your portion. Having done this and more, there is surely no reason for you to abort your dream. Remember that they may be several people tied to your dream and aborting it may mean disadvantaging a whole lot of people. So ladies, let put our dreams into action and take over the world. Until next time, stay blessed.

A virtuous woman versus a calamitous woman

Excellence is what the world of today seeks after. The world is tired of the ordinary and the substandard material and is in search of someone with better solutions. The women who have dominated today’s world are not just ordinary women who treat themselves carelessly. It is only the women of virtue, excellence and high caliber that make it up there. The best book ever to describe a successful woman is the bible in proverbs 31. It gives a clear picture of how a successful woman conducts herself and sharing this with other women is one of the most significant things that one can do to empower fellow women who are seeking for direction. How about taking a look at 20 contrasting points between a virtuous woman and a calamitous woman. Here are the points to jot down and practice wherever you are.
1. A virtuous woman is first of all difficult to find.
A calamitous woman is readily available.
2. A virtuous woman is a priceless gift worth more than rubies.
A calamitous woman is cheap.
3. A virtuous woman is trustworthy.
A calamitous woman is not to be trusted.
4. A virtuous woman is a life-giver.
A calamitous woman is a threat to life.
5. A virtuous woman opens doors for others.

6. A virtuous woman is a hard worker.

7. A virtuous woman is an independent giver and a provider.

A calamitous woman is easily blown by the wind.
19. A virtuous woman is often praised.
A calamitous woman is often despised.
20. A virtuous woman is an exceptional woman.
A calamitous woman is a common woman.

Having said all, one thing is for certain, the works of any woman will speak for her. Virtuous women are known because of what they have achieved and how they have conducted themselves whilst the calamitous women are also known for what they have done. Judgment is for the heart and it is only you who can judge to which category you belong. Remember it is only the wise women who will make it in the resentful world and it is only the women that have exercised themselves unto excellence that only produce excellent results. Take a notebook and give yourself a certain mark according the above criteria. If you are at 50% or below, starting working on your life and change for the betterment of everyone that is around you. If you are above 50% but below 90% just put in the little extra effort, otherwise you are on your way to excellence. If you are 90% and above, good, but aim higher to reach the 100% perfect woman of excellence. It is all possible and it is only you who can limit yourself. The power to change lies in you. If you are below 20% or at 0% level, don’t lose hope. It is never too late to change for the better. Just put in the extra effort and commitment to start changing. Above all, ladies remember that change begins with you and that we can never impact nor change the world towards excellence when we ourselves are not living it. So ladies that’s a quick and easy task for you this season. Remember women are the ones who bear and nurture a boy into a man and a man into a nation. It is all in you. Until then, Ciao.

The solar system and the climate has not spared any surprises for the world either, with the world experiencing unexplainable climatic changes. So many has happened but one crucial thing that has impacted the world of today is the rising of women in all spheres of life.

Women today have risen to take over businesses, churches, ministries, political positions and very influential positions in society and they have proved beyond doubt that they are as much capable as the opposite sex. Everyday brings reports of women excelling in different industries and these issues only inspire and incite more and more women to take up their stance and realize that they were not created as inferior beings but were created equal with men but different from them and hence the acceptance of their difference serves to be a great weapon for their emancipation.
