Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dream

 

Scott McKain is a gifted speaker, author, and television host who was once addressing large gathering said I was privileged to share the speaking stage with. a story about Arnold Schwarzenegger that shows the power of dreams and goals. As a young man growing up in Austria, Arnold Schwarzenegger made up his mind that he was going to do some incredible things with his life. He made up his mind and set a goal to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time. Many thought Arnold was crazy but they figured he would eventually give up, because it would take a great deal of time and commitment. They figured he would give up and get over that silly notion, and get a "real" job. He then added another aspect to his dream, he not only wanted to become the world's greatest bodybuilder but he also wanted to become a movie star and an inter-national fitness guru! His friends said, "What a crazy dream!" He wrote his dreams down on a note card and carried it around in his wallet and made a contract with himself that he would achieve this goal. He said it was this contract with himself that drove him, forced him, to go to America and start the climb to become Mr.Olympia. He went on to become one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood and the Chairman of the President's Committee for Physical Fitness. Do dreams and goals make a difference? You'd better believe it, just ask Arnold! Later he become The Governor of California.
