Dreams abound in the imaginations of young adults. These dreams of athletic grandeur, Hollywood fame and heroic pursuits are more than fantasies to the hopeful young; they are possibilities. But as the dreamers grow, the negative influences of junior and senior high stifle their dreams and in essence impair the level of success they achieve. They are taught to discard their dreams as foolish and seek practical, ordinary jobs so they can live practical, ordinary lives.

What they are not taught is that dreamers have a duty to fulfill their dreams. They are not taught that they are creatures of infinite potential. They are not taught that if they have the ability to dream a dream, they have the ability to realize that dream. They are not taught that dreamers can be doers and that Dream Doers are unstoppable.

A Dream Doer believes he can do anything he dreams. Then he does it. The secrets to the success of this simple process are faith, courage and action.

First, a Dream Doer believes in himself and in his dreams. Dreams that do not defy the laws of God, of man or of nature should be nurtured, encouraged and fed. This leads to self-confidence. Self-confidence leads to faith, the belief that something not yet seen has already come to pass. As the confidence and faith of a young Dream Doer soars, he finds a way to manifest his dreams.

The second secret of a Dream Doer is courage. Everyone has hopes. Everyone has dreams. Everyone has desires. Hoping for things is easy. Dreaming about places to go is easy. Desiring great success in life is easy. Telling people about them? That's hard. It's hard to tell people because they might not believe. They might laugh. They might even ridicule. A Dream Doer, however, is brave. He believes he can do anything he dreams and therefore has the courage to put it into words no matter what anyone else says, does or believes.

Finally, a Dream Doer takes action. Action is the most important part of the equation and separates ordinary people from extraordinary ones. Dreams are the starting point, but action makes things happen. So a Dream Doer sets a big goal and then does something small toward that goal every single day. He may not succeed all at once, but little by little, he turns his dreams into memories.

Dream Doers imagine success and achieve it. Be a Dream Doer.
