The power of dreams - and dreams of power

Human beings are generally of two types: they are either manifesting the power of dreams, or are engaged in mere dreams of power.

We have been told that the only thing we have to create is our minds. The only activity of the mind is thinking,  dreaming.

Everybody dreams, but not everybody has the determination to carry the dream to reality. When we dream and then have the discipline to  bring that dream into reality,  we are manifesting the power of dreams. Leaders need this a great deal. A leader that can not have a lofty dream is just occupying an office, not a leader. Just office holder.

Meanwhile, there is another set of people, some pretending to be leaders. They only dream of power and more power. For themselves only.  And this power not to manifest anything great, but to remain as overlords of others, mostly those better than themselves.

What type of person/ leader are you? Are you manifesting the Power of dreams, or you are Dreaming of Power?

Leaders that show the power of dreams are a blessing to their country, as are individuals who manifest power of dreams are blessings to their surroundings. Think Sheikh Mohamed Bin Rashid AlMaktoun, think Lee Kwain Yew,,think Steve Jobs.

Leaders who just dream of power are a curse to their country, and dictators develop from that. Countries are ruined under their watch: Think Muhammed Siad Barre,  Mobutu Sese Seko, Idi Amin Dada; or as an aftermath of their watch: think Saddle Hussein .

Anywhere we are, leaders or not, we should manifest the Power of Dreams - dare to dream, then do all what is necessary to bring the dream to pass. Leaders meanwhile, should be careful not to just engage in dreams of Power.
