I have a dream. It is a big dream. It traverses across this age even into some unknown unborn generations faraway in the future. The fruits of my dream will not only be beneficial for these unknown generations, but even for some numberless generations after them.
I want to leave a legacy. Yes, a profound one. And I want that legacy to be such that anyone that comes by it will have a total transformation of heart and life, so much that they will be pushed by some extremely powerful force unbeknownst to them or anyone, to transform others' lives too, themselves.
My big dream and profound legacy, is to transform the world with pen and paper.
Some people think it cannot be possible. But it is possible. Others say, "Oh, everything is easier said than done...", meaning that they think my strength may fail me. But, my strength will not fail me. The reason is that I never rely on my own strength. I never rely on my own wisdom. I never seek for any glory for myself. I never boast of any good thing. God is my strength, my wisdom, my ability, and my all. And this is why, I can.
Now, because I rely on God, in those times, God will lift me up. He Himself will cause the world, and I mean the world, to see the fruits of this profound legacy coming. After I am dead and gone, generations will look at it, and find hope. And the world will count itself so lucky to have had such a great legacy left behind for it.
This is my dream. Yes, my dream. I know it will cost me something big. I know. I know it will cost me my time, my currency, my strength. I know it will cost me my intellect, my soul, even my blood. I know. Yet, I am ready. I am ready to leave that legacy behind. So I will work harder.
If I labour today tomorrow I will reap a good thing. If I sacrifice many pleasant things today tomorrow I shall enjoy myriad pleasant things. If I persevere today this dream will be achieved tomorrow. If I cry in pain for the good of others today, I know tomorrow, God will put a smile on my face. I am ready now, so help me God...
