We need to dream ourselves out of difficult situations.
Joseph, in the Bible, had grand dreams—visions that were messages from God. One dream showed his brothers’ sheaves of corn bowing down to his own sheaf. Another foretold that his parents and brothers would all bow before him. Naturally, his family was unsettled by these dreams.
I too have dreams. Like Joseph, I have shared them with others, and in return, I was led into a kind of prison, trapped by words dripping with false empathy. I believed their lies and found myself locked in a mental prison, questioning my own aspirations.
But just as Joseph dreamt himself into his situation, he also dreamt himself out of it. Despite the false accusations and betrayal that surrounded him, Joseph’s dreams were his lifeline. He held onto them, and eventually, those very dreams came true. He rose to become the Governor of Egypt, using his wisdom to save millions from famine. The sheaves of corn, just as in his vision, bowed to him. His family, too, bowed to him.
Like Joseph, I am destined to create a positive impact across the world. Though I have faced setbacks, confined by the twisted tendencies of those around me, I am dreaming myself out of this situation. The dreams I hold onto are messages from God, and I already see how the bolts that once tightened around me have begun to loosen.
Sometimes, you need to dream yourself out of a situation. The prison guards—the obstacles in life—may seem intimidating, but there is no force stronger than a dreamer. There is nothing more powerful than a dream fulfilled.
Joseph’s dream was fulfilled. He broke free from his prison, overcame torture, and made a global impact.
So, keep dreaming. There is no prison gate strong enough to hold back someone whose dreams are destined to come true.
