When your memories exceed your dreams, the end is near! (various)
Reflection is a great tool for personal development. Through reflection we can learn from successes and mistakes, we can capture learnings that save future generations time, and we can gain insight into what God is doing. But when reflection becomes our focus, our dreams go into hibernation.
So practice dreaming a little more - spend more time thinking about the future than reflecting on the past. Use your reflection time as a resource for answering how to make the dreams a reality. Don't get paralized by your past, but let it be a textbook for future victories.
God told Joshua - Be Strong & Take Courage... Joshua had much to spend time reflecting on, but what he needed was God's direction to dream and make the dream a reality. Reflecting on 40 years in the desert was not going to help him defeat a city like Jericho. What he needed was some dreams.
We need dreamers - not those that pursue self-centered interests, but those who dream God-driven dreams. Start considering what God could do & would do ... let them become your dreams.
