What is the difference between dreaming and manifesting? You know what? I don’t think there is a hell of a lot of difference. The only difference is the ability or the will to make that dream come through. Many of us dream in fairy tales and others dream in reality. That what they dream they make come true, they see it, they feel and they have the gumption to manifest that dream no matter how ridiculous it may seem. That was the kind of dream Craig Kielburger was. Today while relaxing on my sofa watching TV there was a program on this 25 year old man who will appear on Oprah tomorrow to launch his O Ambassador initiative with Oprah’s Angel Network. The story of this boy is moving and incredible.
Craig Kielburger was 12 year old when he had a dream to make a difference in the lives of poor children around the world. Craig of Toronto Canada was inspired to do something after he TV that a young boy far away in Asia was killed for trying to speak out against the wrongs in that society. He decided he would help. He got a group of like minded children in his school to form a “Free the Children” group. He proceeded to tell his parents that he wants to go to India. At first they laughed and thought he was naive and after a few days he would forget about this seeming outlandish idea. At the time they did not even let him take the bus by himself, let alone sending him off to India. But was not to be dismayed he hooked up with a mentor who agreed to be his chaperon in India and and the rest is history. He has fulfilled that dream and has helped thousands of children around the world and now he is about to team up with Oprah to put millions of children in touch with each other to help build schools, teach children and make the lives of exploited, poor children a little better.
Craig and his brother Marc a Rhodes Scholar and Harvard graduate are co-founders of Free the Children.
Who would have though a 12 year old ordinary boy from Toronto could have dreamt so big and have it realized. It goes to show the power of a strong and vivid dream and your belief that it is possible to realize your dream. It is important to see, taste and feel your dream in every fibre of your body and the determination that nothing will stop you.
So dream big, believe in your dreams and see it come true. Watch the show tomorrow and be inspired.
