Author and philanthropist, W. Clement Stone, was once asked how he was able to create such a rich and rewarding life for himself. He replied, “I have dreamed. It’s just that simple. I have turned my mind lose to imagine what I wanted to do, and I have gone to sleep thinking about things I wanted to accomplish. In the night I would dream about them, and when I would arise in the morning, I would see ways to achieve the end result I wanted. While other people were saying, ‘you can’t do that — it’s impossible,” I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted.”
 
We can dream lofty and noble dreams, or we can settle for average and mundane lives.
 
Most great accomplishments do not happen without someone first seeing those accomplishments in their mind’s eye.
 
As W. Clement Stone said many times, “What you can conceive and believe, you can achieve!”
