I often think that some of my dreams are too big. Well it's true. Some dreams can be too big for us to even mentally handle let alone actually turn into realities. We are human there is only soo much that we can do. We look at the sky and think, "I want to fly." But of course you can't fly. We look at the ocean and say "I want to cross it." Again something we simply cannot do. Even more ridiculous is the notion that we could fly among the stars. Wow, who would ever think of that. How as humans can we have the audacity to think that such things are possible. How can we even think that we are ever going to achieve these things. If a man was meant to fly, then surely he would've been given wings. And if we were meant to cross oceans, we would be able to breath in the water, right? And if we were meant to do the absurd and soar above the earth, then we would have something built in us that allowed us to fly even higher than birds into the outer realm that is space.
The truth is at one time all of these dreams were thought to be "too big." Well, people fly in planes everyday all over the world. You can take a cruise or even ship different products using large ocean liners. And with the advent of the space industry we can all experience the heavens as man has dreamed of doing for centuries. Dreams are like the paint on an artists palette. They may look like a bunch of random blotches, but when they are put to use they come to life and create something that is as real as the artist themself. I have many dreams that at the moment are almost impossible. But I know that the more I start to plan out where the pieces fit; the dreams will become my reality. There is a quote I once heard and it goes something like this "If there is a dream so big that you cannot possibly do it without God, then it is what you are to do." God wants to put those dreams in our hearts so we will pursue them with the utmost diligence until we achieve every part of them. So my challenge to this generation is to never stop dreaming, because if the previous generations had stopped dreaming, then none of us would be here today.
