What is the difference? And which one are you? I think of a daydreamer as one who dreams....they have a dream, but they just hope....maybe someday it will happen. Oh yes, they talk about the dream & they want it to happen. They have hope, but they do not act on what they hope for. A dream without action is a dead dream. A dream that comes and goes, but never makes an impact in one's life or the life of others. A Visionarie, on the other hand, is one who not only has a dream or vision, but has the audacity to Act!!!!
I don't know about you, but I want to be a visionarie. I want to take risks. I believe God has given me a vision. It's not just for me, but it's for others. Just as he has given us talents & gifts. Not for our benefit only, but for the benefit of others....to impact the world.
Dream has several definitions: A wild fancy or hope....A condition or achievement that is longed for; an aspiration....A daydream; a reverie.
Vision also has several definitions: Unusual competence in discernment or perception; intelligent foresight: a leader of vision.... The manner in which one sees or conceives of something.
I believe there are self-made dreams & then there are God-made dreams.
I tell my children you have the freedom to choose which dream you will follow.
Your dream or God's dream for you. God has a plan for each one of us. When we align our lives with his plan we are satisfied & empowered to act. We act in faith believing in the Dream/Vision he has given us. And I am not saying that self-made dreams are not dreams that happen because we see many people walking out their dreams....movies stars, etc. But there is no greater power when we find our purpose & run w/ the God dream/vision. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Plan: To have as a specific aim or purpose; intend.....A proposed or tentative project or course of action....a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished.
We all have the power to choose whether we will Act: (The process of doing....To carry out an action) or be Complacent: (Contented to a fault; self-satisfied and unconcerned.....contented to a fault with oneself or one's actions.)
