You will need challenges from other people to keep you accountable for your dreams.

“God will never allow his work to be made manifest by cowards.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.

This statement conveys a powerful message about courage, action, and divine purpose.

Here’s a breakdown of its meaning:

God’s work: This refers to actions or achievements that are considered to be in alignment with divine will or a higher purpose. It suggests endeavours that are significant, transformative, and often challenging.

Made manifest: This means to be revealed, displayed, or brought into reality. It implies that God’s intended outcomes require tangible, visible action in the world.

Cowards: This refers to individuals who lack courage, are fearful, and are unwilling to take risks or face challenges.

The core meaning is:

• Divine purpose requires courage. God will not use those who are afraid to act to bring about significant change or to accomplish his goals.• True faith is demonstrated through action, not just passive belief. To be an instrument of a higher power, one must be willing to overcome fear and step into the unknown.

• The statement emphasises that meaningful contributions to the world often demand bravery and a willingness to confront adversity.

In essence:

• It’s a call to action, urging individuals to overcome fear and embrace courage in pursuit of their purpose.

• It suggests that passivity and fear are incompatible with achieving truly significant things.

• It implies that action taken with faith is the best way to show that faith.

To be trusted with your dreams means to have the courage, strength, mental resilience, and a strong supportive tribe around you, I call these ‘collaborative achievement-driven relationships’.

The truth is that you will never make it alone. You need people who will challenge you and hold you accountable to your dreams and promises. This is how you can be trusted with your dreams.
