Dreams & Ambitions!

Commit your work to the LORD, and then your plans will succeed. -- The Bible

This world needs big dreamers and achievers that will make a change in our world, and you are one of them! Yes you. You have a great potential within you, and you have the choice to write and create history. Gods’ purpose with your life is so overwhelming and good. Grab it!

Why not just invent the future!

Do you have the winning attitude?

We all have the ability to see our dreams come true. The power of a dream is powerful in the hands of a person with the right positive attitude; the winning attitude! A dream that comes true is not just pure luck; but it is rather hard work, perseverance, and a positive mind. The winning attitude is a positive mind. Do you think positive thoughts or is your mind filed with skepticism and negative thoughts that destroy every single dream? If you want to see your dreams come true, start to think positive and look for an opportunity in what might not look too great. Do you see the cup half empty or half full? Start in the small and you will experience what is inside of you grow, and become a beautiful tree with lots of good fruits. It all starts with a small seed, and then you feed that little seed with positive thoughts and then it will start to grow.

Our dreams must be stronger than our memories. We must be pulled by our dreams, rater than pushed by our memories. - Jesse Jackson

A dream is not just a goal you will see fulfilled in the future. No, a dream and a goal is a journey in which you go though adventures and hard work and enjoy your life. You need to take some risks in life. Take the chance and do the impossible and get the experience of being on un-safe ground. That is where you grow and you will see a side of yourself you have never seen before. You need to get out of your comfort zone and step out into the water.

I remember when I was a kid, I was really afraid of rollercoaster’s. When I was 18 years of age I had the opportunity to sail with a sailing ship for a whole year and though that year I just had to get used to all the waves and winds. Well I grew up in Scandinavia where we have the sea almost next to our front doors! And I have never been seasick, but still I was afraid of heights and big waves. But on the ship I tried it all; I forced myself to climb the huge masthead way up in the air. Off course I had a safe line! But I realized that I loved it, and stayed up there and have kept going back since then.

Sometimes we experience hurricanes while being on the sea. I often had to climb the mast to pull the sail. And while the ship was going crazy jumping up and down and even under the water and us being on the deck. It was insane! But I still loved it. It was a great challenge that really helped me develop my personality and to believe in myself. Since that time, I have continued to go on adventures, and keep on dreaming. I believe that adventures can shape your life, and it is never too late to go on one. Do not tell yourself that you are too young or to old, because it is never too late. Get out of your comfort zone!

You need to get out of your comfort zone. You need to do something that will “shake up” your life. Don’t be lazy, sitting in front of the Internet the whole day and playing online games. It is so easy to do nothing; actually that’s the easiest thing in the world. But to take a step in “faith” takes courage. If you do not think you have courage, then just do it anyways! You need to get out and do whatever makes you shake from the inside! You do not need to go to Kosovo or to some planet out in space. It can be the simplest thing, like helping distributing food to the homeless or cleaning up the beach for trash. The one thing I know for sure is that it will change your life. As you step out, doors will be open to you in life and your dreams will be “taken care of”. Helping others is the best thing you can do. You will start to see things from another perspective. Your own dreams will suddenly have a new focus. Your dreams will be sharper and clearer!

See the invisible, doing the impossible.
See what no one else is seeing
Think what no one else is thinking.
Do what no one else is doing.
Make a difference.

Many years ago I heard this quote, “Heroes see through their eyes what others miss. They see through their spiritual eyes. Heroes see parts of the world that others miss.” Keep your eyes open for even the smallest opportunity. You never know what might happen next. It doesn’t have to be the thing you actually dream about, but maybe it will lead to that dream. On an adventure you don’t know what happens next, but it is exciting. Take the change and unlock your potential. Keep your eyes wide open for the needs of this world.

We need men who can dream of things that never were. -- John F. Kennedy

Jesus Freak Supporters

I am a big soccer fan and have been inside many stadiums. My favorite club that is in Copenhagen has brought me lots of attention. Then when I was around 20 years old, I got the crazy idea of making a new supporter group/fraction. I am a Jesus Freak, so why not just make a Jesus Freak Supporter group. It all actually started when I bought a soccer jersey from the club, and had them to write Jesus Freak on the back. I tell you, people looked at me and asked questions. I was standing among the most hardcore supporters with my Jesus Freak jersey!

Jesus Freaks!

Then one day I decided to create a Jesus Freak Supporter group for the soccer club. And while searching though the internet I found another Dane who was looking for others who wanted to start a Jesus Freak Supporters group as well. We met and started the first official Jesus Freak Supporter Group in our favorite soccer club in Copenhagen, Denmark. Our group grew fast and we even made a magazine and website as well. The media wanted to know more about us. They interviewed us and we came in many nation wide newspapers. It was really a great experience. I had a dream and it came true. It was hard of course, but I was driven with energy because I had a passion and wanted to see it accomplished. You can do the same. See one of your dreams come true by the right attitude and hard work.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
--Frank Outlaw

Please take one more look at that quotation. Keep it somewhere and remember it! As I started key two, which talked about the mind and out attitude, I wanted to end with it. It is so highly important, and maybe the most important of all when we talk about our life.

We need to watch our thoughts. Are you a positive influence on yourself and other people? Start to think positive and visualize your dreams come true in your mind. There is hidden power in your mind. God created your mind, so please use it! Surround yourself with positive people, who are full of energy, and this will make the journey easier. Getting the support from your friends and family is also important. Maybe they think some of your dreams are a little weird, but that doesn’t matter!

Think big, talk big, act big. Because we have a big God. -- Kathryn Kuhlman

Our words:

We need to watch our words. The power of the word that comes out of our mouth is bigger than we realize. Even an innocent joke we say can have devastating consequences or a tiny comment can make the world go mad. Watch your tongue. It will be your life. If you are always negative your will have a negative life where everything is bad. Even the weather. “Now it is to cold….. Now it is to warm……” if what comes out of your mouth is always complaining and negative words you will surely be depressed! The people you hang out with will be depressed as well. Break that circle and renew your thoughts and words. Be an encouragement instead of a discouragement! If your friend is always complaining, then tell them to stop for a minute and start to speak good and positive things to his/her heart. Keep doing it, but refuse to listen to all the rubbish all the time.

Friends are important, and we should listen to them when they need us just to listen. We should also be mature to tell our friends if they are always complaining and need an attitude adjustment. What comes out of your mouth? Is that positive? Is it building people up or breaking them down? You have the choice to build with your mouth! What does come out of your mouth? The next time you talk, try and listen to yourself, and see what comes out. If it’s mostly negative then change your vocabulary.

Every word you speak will have an impact on your mind and actions! So be positive, talk positive. Do not fear obstacles, use them instead. Tell yourself that you can do it, over and over again. Train yourself in using some of these positive words: I am a child of God! - I’m a winner – I can do the impossible – I will – I can change anything! – It’s easy! – I love my family – God is giving me peace – I have no fear –I can do it - God is my coach!

This is closely connected to a winning attitude. So mind your words.

Our Actions and habits:

Beware of your actions because they could become your habit, which then could lead to a change in our personality and character. I’ve heard if you do the same thing for 21 days it could end up creating a habit in your life. If you take some exercises for 21 days, you will properly continue doing it. So if you complain about the same thing for 21 day you will continue to complain! And you will be like a complaining jukebox! Or you can decide to be a person of positive influence. Why not try it. Give it a chance and create some good and healthy habits in your life that will be integrated in your character. People are looking for others who have a strong character and who are a role model.

Habit and character will create your life. And the great thing is that you can help yourself! You have such a great future ahead of you, and you can do the impossible. I pray that the great potential in your life will be released. Start to dream, and do not be afraid of the impossible. The impossible is possible. God put something in you to help you on your life adventure. So, as I said earlier, step out on the water and walk on it!

Qualifications come when you follow the purpose, your dreams and goals. Your potential will be unlocked Don’t be discouraged, but keep moving. Don’t give up. Presidents and leaders were ordinary men, but they kept dreaming and trying even though they met opposition and faced discouragement.

Commit your work to the LORD, and then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3-4
