It is great when you can dream and visualize about the future, but that it not enough.
You have to chase your dreams and turn them into reality. Here is a video which will motivate you to do just that.
Les Brown is truly one of the best motivational speakers.
Motivational Video: Chase Your Dreams
Transcripts of the Video:

My hero, that’s who i chase.
0:04
Now when I was 15 years old, I had a very important person in my life come to me and
0:07
say “Who’s your hero?” and I said, “I don’t know, I gotta think about that, give me a
0:10
couple of weeks.”
0:11
I come back 2 weeks later, this person comes up and says “Who’s you hero?”
0:13
I said, “I thought about it, you know it is?
0:15
I said it’s me in 10 years.”
0:17
So you see, every day, every week, every month, and every year of my life, my hero’s always
0:22
10 years away, I’m never going to be my hero, I’m not going to attain that, I know I’m not,
0:26
and that’s just fine with me, because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasin’.
0:30
I don’t know what that dream is that you have, I don’t care how disappointing it might have
0:38
been.
0:40
As you’ve been working toward that dream, but here’s what I know: that dream that you’re
0:46
holding in your mind, that it’s possible.
0:50
See, sometimes we can’t say “I can do that”, But what we can say, is that it’s possible
0:59
that I can have my dream, as we run toward it, as we work on it, day in and day out.
1:06
No one ladies and gentlemen, could have convinced me when I started out.
1:12
Just over 6 years ago, working on my dream, and I want you to think about whatever you
1:18
dream is.
1:19
Because I was willing to take a chance and most people wont do that.
1:24
Most of the people that you talk to, to try and bring them into the business, these are
1:28
not risk takers.
1:29
Most people have done all that they’re ever going to do: they raise a family, they earn
1:34
a living, and then they die.
1:36
But people who are running toward their dreams, life has a special kind of meaning, and here’s
1:42
what I will share with you: that in the process of working on your dreams, you are going to
1:51
incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain, a lot of setbacks, a lot of
1:59
defeats, but in the process of doing that, you will discover some things about yourself
2:06
that you don’t know right now, what you will realize is, is that you have greatness within
2:12
you, what you will realize is, is that you are more powerful than you could ever begin
2:17
to imagine, what you will realize is, is that you are greater than your circumstances, that
2:22
you don’t have to go through life being a victim.
2:27
But not only is it important that you believe and begin to know that it’s possible for you
2:32
to live your dream as you run toward it, but it’s necessary, that you work on yourself,
2:38
that you develop yourself.
2:40
It’s necessary that you get the energy drainers out of your life, people who don’t want anything,
2:46
people who are not striving, people who are not challenging themselves, people who aren’t
2:50
growing, people who have stopped dreaming, it’s necessary that you align yourself with
2:56
people and attract people into your business who are hungry, people who are unstoppable
3:02
and unreasonable, people who are refusing to leave life just as it is, and who want
3:08
more.
3:09
My mother used to say, “Birds of a feather flock together, if you run around with losers,
3:13
you will end up a loser.”
3:14
It’s necessary that you get the losers out of your life if you want to live your dream.
3:27
It’s necessary to know that everybody won’t see it, that everybody wont join you, that
3:33
everybody won’t have the vision.
3:36
It’s necessary to know that, that a lot of people like to complain but they don’t want
3:41
to do anything about their situation, that you’re an uncommon breed.
3:46
You know, you have to know within yourself, that I can do this, even if no one else sees
3:51
it for me, I’m going to see it for myself, that necessary.
3:56
It’s also ladies and gentlemen, necessary, that you be creative when you’re working on
4:00
your ideas, that you understand the importance of changing up, of readjusting your strategies.
4:07
Many time we can have a great idea, but if you’re not advancing it in the right way and
4:12
thing don’t happen, you become discouraged and begin to think the idea doesn’t work,
4:16
no that’s not true.
4:19
That is you, that is you, that no one can do it for you but you.
4:24
And even though face disappointments, even though you will experience some setbacks,
4:29
it goes with the territory, you must understand that.
4:34
What if all of us took that attitude, after we’ve faced a rejection and no, or we have
4:39
a meeting and no one shows up, or somebody says, “You can count on me!”, and they don’t
4:43
come through.
4:44
What if we had that kind of attitude, the cars repossessed, nobody believes in you,
4:49
you’ve lost again, and again, and again, the lights are cut off, but you’re still looking
4:53
at your dream, reviewing it everyday and saying to yourself: IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN.
