Before you give birth to your dream, it is yet unseen. This is the INVISIBILITY of your dream. Even though you do not see anything, it doesn't mean that nothing is happening.
When you embark on your dream, you set in motion a positive energy like the planting of seeds which would add to your harvest to come. When a seed is planted, it is beneath the ground and unnoticed but it is there nevertheless. Look out of your windows and keep your eye peeled for your dream.
As you plod along, you may enjoy a small measure of success which seems so INSIGNIFICANT. Do not despise the days of small beginnings. Also, do not belittle your commitment of efforts towards your dream. Nothing that you do is insignificant. Just by sticking it out through thick and thin you are poised to go up the learning curve and become better and greater in what you do. Keep learning, keep growing, keep expanding, keep believing and stay the course. Work with your wheelbarrow and other tools in the garden of your dream.
When your dream is formed, learn to deal with the INTIMIDATION. This could take the form of envy or rivalry. Take your stand and keep fighting for your dream. Do not back down and run away from your dream. You have not come this far for nothing. This is the life that you have dreamed of. Take ownership and live it out. Never mind what your neighbours think.
