It is waiting for you. It is waiting for your dreams. The world needs the very things God has put within you - your unique dreams - to manifest in the world around us. For every problem we see today, for every heartache we’re experiencing, for every injustice, wrongdoing, up-side-down system, he has created solutions - only those solutions don’t lie dormant in the world around us. They lie dormant in the world within us. It is time for a massive wake-up call to ignite the fire within you, so you can shine your light on the world around you. Dream - I Dare You is a bold invitation to awaken and align the dreamer within you, so you can start living your bold life! If not you, who? And if not now, when?
