“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Harriet Tubman

Stop and think for a moment about all of the great inventions, the greatest musical compositions, the massive revolutions, the great works of art and greatest literary pieces ever written in the world. All of these historical contributions would never have occurred if it wasn’t for great dreams conjured up from the minds of great dreamers.

If it hadn’t been for great dreams, Vivaldi never would have written “The Four Seasons”, Bach “St. Matthew Passion” and Handel “Messiah”. Neither would Michelangelo have created his breathtaking work in the Sistine Chapel.

Leonardo da Vinci never would have sketched the first parachute and helicopter, painted such masterpieces such as “The Last Supper” and “Mona Lisa” or produced some of the first detailed illustrations of physiology of the human body.

And you would have never known how to “Think and Grow Rich” had it not been for the dedicated lifelong work of Napoleon Hill.

These are all examples of people who were great dreamers. They took the thoughts that were created in their own minds and molded them into an amazing reality here on the physical plane.

Every single great accomplishment in this world started out with a vision, a great dream which then led to the particular achievement. It was the individual’s courage to cultivate their dream that made the difference.

There are times in life when you are told that you can’t do something or that something you are striving for is far impossible to accomplish. The key is to listen to your heart and not the mouths of the little minds out there. As the quote above by Harriet Tubman states, you already have everything you need right inside. You also have the potential to change the world in some way, as each of these examples state.

So what are your great dreams? What great potential do you have inside of you that is just waiting to be born? Is it another great life changing book such as “Think and Grow Rich” ? Do you have the potential to create a masterpiece like Michelangelo? Or maybe it is to compose another great classical piece like Vivaldi, Bach or Handel. How about creating many great inventions such as Leonardo da Vinci?

Maybe your dream is just to make a positive difference in this world in your own special way. Whatever it may be I challenge you to dream a great dream and then go out into this world and live it. You may be surprised at what you are capable of accomplishing and may be the next great thing to go down in history.
