This morning I was listening to Erwin McManus (<a href="http://mosaic.org/podcast/">http://mosaic.org/podcast/</a>) and his message was about living your dream. Surprisingly he wasn't challenging people to live their dream. He was asking, if you were to live your dream, would the world be a better place. Our dreams affect each other - one person's dream might be another person's nightmare. What is our motivation for wanting to live out our dream? We see examples of people trying to live out their dream on reality TV all the time; people who want to be the next American Idol, the Biggest Loser or the ex-bachelor or ex-bachelorette because if they win, they will have "fulfilled their dream" and hopefully found the peace and joy that we are all pursuing.
So back to the question: If you were able to live out your dream, would the world be a better place? If the answer is, "No" then maybe you should reconsider your dream and if the answer is, "Yes" but your actually not living your dream - why not?
