Today’s Topic: The Power of the Dreamer!
~HARRIET TUBMAN
There are two definitions for a dreamer. One who lives in a world of fantasy and imagination. And one who has ideas or conceives projects regarded as impractical. It is the second definition that is regarded as a visionary.
It is my belief that Ms. Tubman was referring to the latter. We all have the strength, patience, and passion to make our dreams a reality. To take the common and make it uncommon. To create, implement, and influence change.
Despite being unable to read or write, Ms. Tubman was a leader, a hero, and one of the most recognized icons in American history. She was an abolitionist, freeing more than 300 slaves via the Underground Railroad. As a spy and scout for the Union army she was instrumental in freeing an additional 700 slaves. She was also a nurse and a supporter of the women’s suffrage movement.
All that she accomplished stemmed from a desire for change. It was her will to see it through that made her iconic. Her achievements were not haphazard, she had a plan. A dreamer with no direction lacks purpose but a dreamer with a desire has the will to see it through.
How will you put purpose to your dreams?
