“Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested” 1 Chronicles 4:10.
To become successful or fulfilled in life you must start with a dream. A life dream is the way you want to live, not just the things you want to own. It is the person you want to be not just the title you want to see under your name on the door. It is the mindset that you have not the degrees you earn. A life dream is in actuality the world view that you claim as your own.
The critical point to recognize is that both the unlimited potential of childhood and the tight constraints of adulthood originate and reside primarily in the imagination. If you believe you can, you probably can and if you believe that you cannot you most assuredly will not. It is therefore important to identify what your life dream is. To do so start by setting an atmosphere for yourself that is conducive to identifying your life dreams. A prayer to God may guide you on the direction you should take.
Start by revisiting your childhood dreams because in most cases childhood dreams hold the key to the person’s true cache of talents, abilities and motivation. I remember as I child I was the family counselor even though I was the youngest. As I grew older I would notice that if there was a family crisis my family would insist on consulting with me first before acting. I became a lawyer because of the need to defend the cause of those oppressed but I realized I was counseling more and felt more fulfilled when I reconciled my clients. I decided to go back to school to add counseling to my qualifications and I know that this is what I was called to do in life.
To determine your life dream ask yourself the following questions:
1) If you had a great deal of money what would you do that you cannot do now?
2) What one thing in your life would you really like to experience in your life?
