There are times when you need encouragement and a new level of inspiration and may not find it around. People around you seem too busy to know you need motivation. When in this situation, this is what I do: DREAM TOURING.

Sometimes our biggest need for encouragement is not after a loss, but ironically after the euphoria if a big success. When this occurs, I buy a first class ticket to my mind and tour my great dreams once again. It will give you fresh joy and inspire new belief. Suddenly you realize you want to get there and your motivation level comes up. By the time you return to reality, you discover you have a better perspective.

Only you genuinely and completely see the big picture, so no one can encourage you better than yourself. Enjoy the dream touring. Imagine it slowly like on real time; your first real job, your first million in your account, your wedding day, you Presidential speech as President of your great nation, signing autograph to happy fans, your book listed as a New York International Bestseller or your company’s inclusion in the Forbes fortune 500 company list… Just enjoy the tour.

This exercise generates endorphin in your brain. And if you know the power of joy, you will not undermine this energy boosting exercise. A merry heart does well like medicine. So says the Holy Scriptures in the book of Proverbs.

Your big dream is like a mountain and every mountain climber knows the power of imagination. It is that joy of the Mountain View in your mind that generates endurance to keep climbing. So tour your dreams and motivate yourself to keep moving.

Additional to enjoying the feeling of all that your dreams hold in store for you as you imagine them vividly, remind yourself of the impact it will make on your generation. As President, picture your agenda having a life transforming impact on the nation’s citizens. As a Pastor, imagine the transformation of lives as you consistently allow the Holy Spirit use you.

Your own dream may not have been mentioned among the few in this article but go ahead and practice this principle whenever you feel down and you will bounce back with renewed energy to chase those dreams. See you at the TOP!
