Wachiuri: This IS Why You Must Keep Dreaming Big

The moment that you stop dreaming, you will be on your way to a sure death. That is why you must keep dreaming; to become successful, to become a better person than you are today.

Most institutions also have their dreams too; this is what they call, their, ‘vision’. Here at Optiven, our vision is to be the pacesetters in social economic transformation.

For starters, dreaming gives you a purpose in life. If you have no purpose in life, you are like a ship that is in the middle of some vast ocean. Any direction that you will take will still take you somewhere, not necessarily towards the right destination, unfortunately. Having a purpose in life is what makes you wake up every morning, to go out there and achieve it, no matter any obstacle that may be on the way.

Secondly, dreaming activate our inner energy. You have so much energy, such a high capacity to achieve super great success in your life. Having a dream will make you become more self-motivated and it will excite those stored energies which will spring forth, to some well channelled, positive use.

On the other hand, dreaming help us to go beyond tangible things. By just having a dream and a good perspective about life, you will be able to start thinking beyond tangible things such help us to look beyond wealth and money and power

Given, dreams awaken our capacity to innovate. You will be pushed to find a shorter way of doing things. Dreams enhance our focus so much such that you are able to focus on what matters.

At the same time, dreaming enhances personal commitment. You are able to commit to what you do, and it gives you impetus. You take risks; you go out of your way to stay on track.

Again, dreaming will help you scare yourself; to jump outside your comfort zone and to think at a much higher level. As a matter of principle, if you are not doing things that will give you a few goose bumps, you are either; not learning or you are getting bored by your predictable line of doing things. Learn to do at least one thing that is slightly uncomfortable daily. This could be as small as making a phone call or sharing your art with someone.

Finally, dreaming will push you to do things in a more effective way. You will rise up early every day. It will push you to go back to school and earn that extra academic paper; it will make you attend all your meetings in the time, it will enhance your capacity to be more patient, especially when things don’t seem to come your way as promptly as you would wish.
