What sets those that dream big dreams and those that accomplish big dreams apart is action. At some point the dream propelled them to action. Not every action created the result that they wanted so then they stepped back and considered the situation and took another action. Action is the bridge from what we want to do to what actually gets done. Individuals like Walt Disney, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford to name a few took several tries to reach the results they wanted. However, they never stopped learning and taking action. We all dream of what we can do, where we can live what we can accomplish. Then we come up with reasons why that will never happen to us. We are too old, don't have the right education, aren't experienced enough. So we take a dream and cover it with doubt and then wonder how is it that our dreams can't come true. At 60 years old Allen Moore became the oldest football player at Mississippi's Holmes Community College. He had a dream to return to being kicker in football and decided to take action on his dream. So the idea of we are too old has been removed. In 1707, Henrietta Johnston begins to work as a portrait artist in Charles Town (now Charleston), South Carolina, making her the first known professional woman artist in America. For every situation there is a first. Fear of the first is only another reason to not take action. Action even the smallest step begins to move us from what we dream of doing to what we do. Is there a dream you have? If so is there something small you could do to begin to move you in the direction of that dream? If so why not do it.
