Keep The Dream ALIVE.

‘But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him…. Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more…. He said, ‘Please hear this dream: So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words…. Then he dreamed still another dream.… - Genesis 37: 5-9

People who have achieved great things in life will tell you it wasn’t always easy. Bruce Barton says ‘Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.’ Take as examples:

 Being active in the movement for civil rights and racial equality meant being assassinated at age 39, but Martin Luther King Jnr gave it his best shot,
 Mandela will tell you separation from one’s family and prison-life are best avoided, but his perseverance fought and won the battle against Apartheid
 Leaving behind his daily practice of medicine to devote his career to uncovering the genetic causes of cancer, Bert Vogelstein M.D. suffered several years of ridicule and denial from review boards who believed the project impossible. Today, all nations call this ‘Cancer Researcher’ ‘Blessed’
 The first 15 patients to receive the ‘Artificial Kidney’ treatment failed to recover, but Dr. Willem Kolff persevered. Today, the dialysis treatment he pioneered has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of men, women and children, all over the world.
 ‘Dummy’ of the class, violent-tempered and doomed for ‘jail, reform school, or the grave’, Ben Carson proved that ‘if you have a normal brain, you are superior’

23 years passed before Joseph’s dreams were fulfilled, but in the end; ‘his sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to him and other sheaves stood all around and bowed down to his sheaf.’ He not only ruled his family, but he also saved the nations.
