Acknowledgments
This book could not have been written without the prayers of countless friends and family, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Beyond that, I thank God for the privilege of being able to share with others about the miraculous way He first gave us the desires of our hearts, planting them deep within us, and then, in His perfect timing, He brings them to fruition. This book belongs to God, and my prayer is that He will turn the dreams of all who read it into realities like only He can!

INTRODUCTION
God can do anything, you know-far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!
E PHESIANS 3:20 MSG
T ake a minute to think about what would have to take place in order for your life to be more fulfilling. What would have to happen for you to feel truly purposeful and contented at the same time? What would satisfy you more than anything else? These are questions that will start you on your journey, on the pathway to discovering your purpose and turning goals into realities.
Many people start out with a grand sense of purpose. They tackle a project, launch a new venture, embark on a journey, enter a profession, marry someone special-and then are overcome by the pressure of their own striving to make it a success. Eventually, the reason they began the project or goal eludes them. Their original inspiration may have been genuine, altruistic, and self-sacrificing, but it gets superseded either by a desire for perfection, the fear of a setback, worry over losing it all, or sheer force of habit.
This is a book about achieving success with no limits. You ll find 101 effective approaches and practical concepts that are proven to help you succeed if you put them into practice. It doesn t matter if your particular goals concern your health, spiritual growth, relationships, career, finances, sports, hobbies, education, travel, social change, or politics. The same principles and concepts for success apply in your home, on the job, at school, at church, and in your community. As you read, I pray you will gain inspiration and insights, implement the techniques presented, and trust the one who is the source of all dreams-God. If you ardently desire to make changes, are willing to apply the strategies presented in this book, and seek to be within God s will, then persevere-you will achieve your goals. Start right now to dream big dreams. Expect God to act and get ready!

The poor man is not he who is without a cent, but he who is without a dream!
H ARRY K EMP
Keep thou thy dreams-the tissue of all wings is woven first of them; from dreams are made the precious and imperishable things where loveliness lives on and does not fade.
V ERA S HEARD
C an you imagine the tragedy of having the ability to go anywhere you choose, but not having the faintest idea where you d like to go? This happens to many people. They never experience the joy or benefits of using their full potential because they don t have a vision for their lives. They re not exactly sure what they d like to see happen. Perhaps they don t know they have a choice. Maybe they aren t aware that having a dream and being a visionary is what makes the difference between merely living and being fully alive.
Many of us spend more time watching television, writing to-do lists, and organizing a party than we do dreaming constructively about our lives. Other times we dwell on past memories or center on our hopes for a better future, but we have no current aims or definite objectives. When this happens, our activities turn into a blur of dealing with day-to-day tensions, handling problems, or coping with crise
