Dreams Without Work Accomplish Nothing.
The New Testament is filled with stories of Paul’s efforts to share God’s gift of salvation with those who had not heard the gospel. (See particularly Acts 13–20.) When one door closed, he looked for another. When his traveling companions interfered with his plans, he parted company with them and looked for others who could share his vision. Not even riots, beatings, and imprisonments prevented him from continually seeking ways to share the good news of Jesus. Again and again, Paul worked hard—fighting discouragement, misunderstandings, and distrust—to fulfill his commission from God.
You also need to work. The love of work is the secret to personal progress, productivity, and fulfillment because work encourages the release of potential, and potential is the abundance of talents, abilities, and capabilities given to every person. When you refuse to work, you deny yourself the opportunity to fulfill your potential and your purpose, and you forfeit the productivity that could have blessed yourself and others. Therefore, you steal from the world. The greatest safeguard against this theft is both to understand the purpose and the nature of work, and to live from that knowledge.
So discouragement, misunderstandings, distractions, lack of focus, procrastination and laziness are the greatest enemy in fulfilling your dreams on earth, so give no space for it.
