“Sometimes it’s important to dare to dream – small or big – like Mandela, Gandhi, Winfrey, Obama, Malala and Dr King. From Einstein to Hawking – the sky’s no limit. From Ali to the Williams sisters – through trials and talent find the champions within. Like my mother did to raise great kids. Like the one or many who run with this. Like the unsung heroes in every city and village. Like the kind of heart and selfless healers. Like every act of kindness you ever did and received. Like the human spirit beyond class, colour and creed. Like every soul who has raised our consciousness. From one to all – love IS all we have and need.” – Rasheed Ogunlaru, Coach – Speaker – Author
The quote above was inspired by me thinking about the word Vision which is the theme of my regular life coach slot on Colourful Radio’s Self Central show (11.25am-12noon Sundays). It’s an apt theme as at this time of the year so many people are thinking of their goals, dreams and plans.
As I thought about the topic I thought about my own vision for my life and my work from here on – partly as I like to practice what I preach and put these things to the test. I rejected on what having a ‘vision’ had done for me in the past. One of the things my mind turned straight to was that my first real dream as a kid was to be an author. So it’s quite fascinating how these things turn out.
A dream / vision is an important part of the journey. It sparks and kick starts it. But it is not enough. Just as my book Soul Trader starts with courage it moves on to themes such as courage, co-operation and creativity which are all required. But the power of the dream – as the quote above and all the real stories that reside therein – should not be underestimated.
