INTRODUCTION
The future belongs to those who believe
in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You have a dream! Within you there is a purpose, an assignment
and a specific work that you were created to accomplish in your lifetime!
You have a yearning to do something great with your life, and that desire can be fulfilled as you courageously allow yourself to Dare to Dream!
The disheartening reality is, it is very likely that the majority of
people you know are not pursuing their dreams. If you live in a city anything
like mine, you are surrounded by individuals whose lives are consumed by
work that gives them very little satisfaction and fulfillment. If the people
you know are anything like the people I know, they are obsessed by the idea of “the weekend” and they do everything in their power to make it to Friday
at 5pm! This environment of mediocrity is not conducive to dreaming big!
The purpose of this book, then, is to prevent you from living a
similar life of “quiet desperation” and instead, help you to discover, develop
and display the dream that is your destiny! It is only in completing that which
you were originally created for that you can experience true satisfaction and
success.
With that said, this book is designed to, over the next 30 days,
provide the space where you can answer questions that will help you to
navigate through the following “5 Stages of Dream Fulfillment:”
Stage 1: Discover Your Burden
Stage 2: Receive a Vision Stage 3: Engage in the Process
Stage 4: Allow the Obstacles to Strengthen You
Stage 5: Maintain Faith!
I encourage you to work through the questions in this book one day
at a time, but if you’re inclined to work through the book at a faster pace,
please feel free to do so!
So without any further preliminaries, let’s jump right in to the first
stage of dream fulfillment…Discover Your Burden!

CONCLUSION
If you have reached the end of this book having written down your
answers to the questions given…Congratulations! You are well on your way
to making your dream a reality! The patience and perseverance that it took
to thoughtfully work through the questions posed will be the same patience
and perseverance that will lead you to the fulfillment of your dream!
In conclusion, I want to leave you with a few action steps for you to
take that will help you to maximize the concepts outlined in this book:
Action Step #1: Refer back to this booklet often.
Use this booklet as a resource to keep you inspired when times get
tough, and allow if to be a reminder to you of why you started out on you
dream journey in the first place!
Action Step #2: Focus on the daily disciplines.
Your level of commitment to the five habits you identified in Day 13
will have a greater impact on your dream becoming a reality than anything else! Engage in the process everyday!
Action Step #3: Consume content DAILY to inspire your dream.
The more content you can consume to inspire your dream, the less
likely you will be to quit when the obstacles seem too high to surmount!
I feel so passionately about this, that I have created a website that I
am a confident will one day have the most comprehensive library of
resources to inspire your dream! On the site you can find inspiration through
quotes, books, articles, videos, biographies, movie clips, poems, worksheets and more! Check it out at www.edwardpaz.com.
Action Step #4: E-Mail me your dream!
In the “Stage Two – Review” you were asked to write out, to the
best of your ability, the vision of your dream fulfilled. If you would e-mail me
your vision to [email protected], I would love to personally encourage
you in your dream!
Your dream will come to pass! The road will be long and hard, but
as you remain faithful to the process, you can be sure that an unspeakable joy awaits you! Congratulations in advance for the positive impact you will
have on others as a result of seeing your dream through to its completion!
