Having a Dream makes you different.

A dream will make you different; it will give you a different set of values, a different way of thinking, a different way of speaking, a different attitude. It takes courage to be different.

Nothing is worthwhile unless if you take risks, it takes courage to pursue your dream — D. Washington

When you’re set apart for a purpose; it makes you different…And the problem with being different is that people accept what is the same and reject what is different, at first, but they eventually respect what is different. People finally come around and respect what stands out.


Don’t downplay what makes you different.

Some people dumbing down themselves because being different is too painful. You have to be careful to don’t conform to the patterns of this world.

The level you will settle on is the level that you see yourself — Steven Furtick


Our environment, our society, and our school system are designed to condition people to limit their Gift.

We currently live in a system that is against us. This system won’t allow you to make a difference or let you fulfill your dreams, use your gift and express your inner talents… Why? Because they’re afraid of your potential, they’re afraid of your ability to spark people’s brains; they’re afraid of your awareness, they’re afraid of your determination to seek the truth and afraid of your purpose to change the world, change the corrupt system that we live in today.

Whatever you destined to become God has prepared you with it, to fulfill a function in this earth. And the issue right now it’s that you still suck to looking for a job that is not for you, you are lost and you came here because you are ready to use your gift that God gave you and fulfill your function on earth — Dr. Myles Munroe

Why people go to a job where they are miserable day in and day out? Why do people stay together and they are miserable sleeping in separate rooms or arguing, the only thing they have in common paying the bills? It’s because it’s familiar.

I didn’t come through all of that just to fit in with normally. I have the courage to go after my dream — TD. Jakes


You can allow people to destroy you or you can allow it to build you up

It doesn’t matter where you are or what you have or what you have done. Life’s about growing, being productive; it’s about stretching, about challenging yourself, so start looking around and decide to improve your skills, knowledge, health, relationship, income.

Sometimes it’s the people closers to you they won’t believe you. And I want you to understand why… They’re to close to you to see your greatness. They’re familiar with you, they normalize you, normalize your gift, your vision, your greatness. And the mistake that a lot of people make is to go seek their validation, their agreement. - Trent Shelton

You were not created just to make a living and pay bills you were created to express your Gift, your talent, and make the difference somewhere. Have the courage to go after your dream, and fulfill your purpose.
