Should we aspire for dreams at any cost?

Maurice Flintcroft’s story (The Phantom of the Open) confronts this world’ s desire to achieve the dreams in our life. He seems to think that he can achieve something that no one else believes can be done. While he desires to be respected within the golfing community, his dream is answered unexpectedly. This unassuming sporting hero went on to do something extraordinary with his life and in the process, he can bring everyone else along with him.

In this world of 'believing in yourself' and 'if you believe it, you can do it,' we may realise that the answers to our dreams might come in different packages.

The Bible tells us that in Psalm 139 it states that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, which moves our lives from ordinary to extraordinary. Not because of who we are, but because of who created us.

The challenge may be to not merely believe in ourselves, but to believe in the one who is the creator of dreams. Building into that relationship with God, as opposed to sacrificing our human relations for achieving our dreams.
