\u00a0Because doing what it takes to get them sounds stupid. \u00a0&#8220;No one else is doing that&#8221;, you say. \u00a0And the reason for that is because your surroundings don&#8217;t have the right set of people in it. \u00a0Yes, your dream may be unheard of, but do you really want dreams or better yet a life like someone else? \u00a0Stupid or not, it&#8217;s time to make the decision-draw the line-if you want to have the kind of life you so desire. \u00a0Stick with me and I guarantee I can show you how. \u00a0I don&#8217;t have all the answers, but I do have an answer. \u00a0\u00a0Instead of doing nothing and having nothing, together we can do something and have something we&#8217;ve never had before.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>What&#8217;s so hard about dreaming?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, take a piece of paper or notepad. \u00a0Let&#8217;s start to dream; it&#8217;s easy. \u00a0You do it all the time. \u00a0You just don&#8217;t tell anyone. \u00a0When I mow the lawn, that&#8217;s cut the grass for some, it&#8217;s my time to dream. \u00a0I dream of owning my own neighborhood. \u00a0One where I have purchased houses for my family members so that they&#8217;ll never have to have a mortgage. \u00a0Imagine that! \u00a0If you dream it what harm could it be to pursue it? \u00a0What harm could possibly come from pursuing your dream? \u00a0Maybe one day those dreams actually come true? \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-844 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryaclark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20170303-TIF-SM-What-Harm-Can-Come-From-You-Dreaming-400x400.png?resize=400%2C400\" alt=\"20170303 TIF SM - What Harm Can Come From You Dreaming\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20170303-TIF-SM-What-Harm-Can-Come-From-You-Dreaming.png?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20170303-TIF-SM-What-Harm-Can-Come-From-You-Dreaming.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20170303-TIF-SM-What-Harm-Can-Come-From-You-Dreaming.png?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20170303-TIF-SM-What-Harm-Can-Come-From-You-Dreaming.png?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20170303-TIF-SM-What-Harm-Can-Come-From-You-Dreaming.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20170303-TIF-SM-What-Harm-Can-Come-From-You-Dreaming.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20170303-TIF-SM-What-Harm-Can-Come-From-You-Dreaming.png?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/span><strong>5 Categories to Help You Begin to Envision the Life You\u2019ve Dreamed About:<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s start with your wish list. \u00a0A wishlist is nothing more than visions of things that God has planted in your heart. \u00a0That&#8217;s why no 2 lists are the same. \u00a0To get you started, I&#8217;ll give you a few categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Your life.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0What would you like to see happen to your home?

\u00a0Or to be an athlete? \u00a0Let the dreams flow. \u00a0Those thoughts and ideas are there for a reason. \u00a0Stop saying that it&#8217;s unattainable. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kerryaclark.com\/familyplan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Family Plan<\/a>\u00a0places it in your reach.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Your spirituality. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0Are you tired of doing church and religion like your family has for 100 years? \u00a0What&#8217;s in your heart? \u00a0Define it. \u00a0Maybe you want to be involved in an area that your church doesn&#8217;t have an opening, what can you do to satisfy that longing? \u00a0Don&#8217;t just stop because something doesn&#8217;t exist. \u00a0You know how to make something out of nothing. \u00a0If you&#8217;re like me you&#8217;ve done that all your life. \u00a0\u00a0Maybe it&#8217;s time for the next great evangelist or reformer?
