Dream-Maker

I just now remembered something – I’m sorry, I should have told you this long ago … there was a young Hebrew slave whom we told our dreams and he interpreted them for us. – Pharoah’s Cupbearer (speaking of Joseph)

 I am not one of those who believe in the “Self-made” man. I read gazillions of articles that use words like, “Self-made millionaire,” “Self-developed speaker,” and lots more but I don’t think that in practice there is anyone that can described as such.

That is simply because I don’t believe that the governor in a great governor is solely accountable for the greatness of the governor. I strongly believe that the friend, the foe, the neighbor, the stranger, the seller, the buyer, the speaker, the listener, the teacher, the learner, the receiver, the giver, the lover, the hater, the ex-lover, the marketer, the consumer, etc. in the governor, also play an imperative role.

All the people and factors that surround our lives collectively make us. They help you succeed in succeeding or succeed in failing. I believe that Moses wouldn’t be Moses without Pharoah and Jethro, David wouldn’t be David without Samuel and Saul, Jesus wouldn’t have been the same Jesus without Joseph and Mary.

You can be part of the another’s success story. I met a friend after a long time apart. I discovered that he was now a pilot. I was noticeably in awe of this. The closest I have come to a pilot was the public address they give before take-off and landing. So I dug deeper as to how he became one. He briefly narrated how his father called him up and asked if he still wanted to pursue his childhood dream of flying and offered to support him actualize it.

When folks tell you of their dreams and aspirations, search your heart to see how you can help them bring it to pass. No person grows appropriately as an island. We all need others to survive and to thrive. My success is tied to you and so is yours to me. There is a song that goes:

I need you

You need me

We’re all a part of God’s body

Stand with me

Agree with me

We’re all a part of God’s body

It is his will that every need be supplied

You are important to me

I need you to survive

I won’t harm you

With words from my mouth

I love you

I need you to survive…

…

Decide today that you will be a part of someone’s success story. You will be glad you did.
