one particular story that stands out. It was at a time when he had just opened Disney World. Mr. Disney was sitting alone on a park bench near the ONLY ride, and stand- ing on the park grounds, a caretaker ob- served Mr. Disney staring off into space. The story told of how the grounds man came by and inquired why Mr. Disney was staring “into space”. He responded, “I’m looking at my mountain from right here, I see the mountain right there.” The man walked away confused by the statement as all he could see were the grounds and one ride. Having a note pad with him, Walt began to write things down including what he had just said. His dreams and those few words were the beginning of Space Moun- tain; he died before it opened to the pub- lic. When Space Mountain was dedicated, the governor, Mrs. Disney and many were there for this momentous event. When Mrs. Disney spoke she beamed with de- light in how Walt had already seen Space Mountain long before he died and long before it was built and completed. She told one man, “it was you who was just not seeing it”.


Regardless of your age or where you


are in life or who has told you “No”, I encourage you to dream BIG. With your natural eyes closed, right in the middle of your forehead, imagine and daydream. Let your desires and dreams be seen there fi rst and then like Mr. Disney, create your real- ity from your vision; it is your right. Placed inside each of us are dreams and desires waiting to come into existence. Your mind is the “forecaster” of what can be. Living with unfi lled dreams is like


having no vision beyond your current status or situation. It has been said, “With- out vision of the future, life has lost its meaning.” So what is your dream? What do you imagine doing with your life? Are you doing it? Five, ten, fi fty years will go by; will you have allowed your dream to have “wings” and take fl ight or will it be non-existent? I’ve read, “The poorest per- son in the world is a person without a dream.” I’d like to add to that thought, if someone had a dream but needed help, would you invest time, etc. into their dream? Your vision initially is like a glance


into your future. You were born unique, you were born “wired” for greatness; you are not mass produced – you are designer- made. As I tell my athletes, positive self- expectancy is the first, most external

identifi able quality of fi rst rate athletes and Olympians. Olympians dream very large dreams and work hard to bring them to reality. By remembering the key to vision is to allow it to have form, spend time with it; give it the freedom to grow. If needed, seek the best people to help you bring your dream to life and overcome obstacles. You may not be a Walt Disney in the world, but just maybe you will be something even greater. I encourage you to dare to dream; dream BIG and dream often of your vi- sions.
