God has a dream for you...make it happen! [Dwaine Lee, Founder, Global Action](https://globalaction.ngo/en/blog/author/dwaine-lee-founder-global-action) Jul 19, 2022 --- Very few of us ever approach the realization of our full potential. The estimate is that a person accomplishes only 10 percent of his promise.....sees only 10 percent of the beauty around him, hears only 10 percent of the music and poetry of the universe, smells only a tenth of the world's fragrance, and tastes only a tenth of the deliciousness of being alive. He is open to only 10 percent of his emotions, tenderness, wonder and awe. His mind embraces only a small part of the thoughts, reflections and understanding of which he is capable...He will die without ever having really lived or really loved. To me, this is the most frightening of all possibilities....I would hate to think that you or I might die without ever having really loved or lived. How is your life going these days? Are you going for it with everything you've got? Do you have a big vision of what life can be for you? Are you going through life with your head up or head down? Are you gazing at the stars and the road ahead or merely watching for the cracks in the sidewalk? We are not here just to exist. God has a great plan for your life! For God's sake, literally, we need to stop and consider how our lives are doing. We need to match them up to what we want to do and be. GOD HAS A DREAM FOR YOU....MAKE IT HAPPEN!
