Transcript
- 0:00Podcasthero.com. Welcome to the Daily Quote, the
- 0:05podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.
- 0:10I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and let's dive into today's
- 0:13quote from Robert H Schuler, the minister and motivational
- 0:17speaker who founded the Crystal Cathedral and inspired millions
- 0:21with his possibility thinking. He once said build a dream and
- 0:28the dream will build you. Wow.
- 0:33The dream will build you. Most people think it works one
- 0:37way. You build the dream, you work
- 0:40hard for it, you achieve it. Done.
- 0:44But Schuler is revealing something deeper.
- 0:47It's reciprocal. While you're building the dream,
- 0:52the dream is simultaneously building you.
- 0:55Think about what happens when you pursue A meaningful goal.
- 0:59You don't just work towards something external, you
- 1:02transform internally while you do it.
- 1:06You build a business, but the business builds discipline,
- 1:09resilience and leadership skills in you.
- 1:13If you build physical fitness, the training builds mental
- 1:17toughness, consistency and self respect in you.
- 1:20If you build a meaningful relationship, the relationship
- 1:23builds patience, empathy, and vulnerability in you.
- 1:27The dream you're chasing isn't just something you want to have,
- 1:31it's a tool that shapes who you become.
- 1:35The pursuit changes you, the obstacles force you to grow, and
- 1:40the setbacks teach you lessons. The small wins build confidence,
- 1:45and the failures build character.
- 1:48By the time you achieve the dream, if you achieve it, you've
- 1:52become someone completely different from who you were when
- 1:56you started. And here's the beautiful part.
- 2:00Even if you don't achieve the dream, you still get transformed
- 2:04by pursuing it. The person you became through
- 2:08the pursuit is the real achievement.
- 2:12Schuler understood this. The dream isn't the destination,
- 2:16it's the construction site where you build yourself.
- 2:21So here's the question, what dream could you build that would
- 2:25build you into who you want to become?
- 2:29Because the goal isn't just to achieve the dream, it's to let
- 2:33the pursuit of that dream transform you.
- 2:37Build a dream and let it build you.
- 2:41That's it for today. I'm under McGivern signing off
- 2:44for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
