The Difference Between a Dreamer and a Visionary

I have been reading a great deal about planning and visioneering new ideas. And I cam across and interesting observation in Andy Stanley’s book “Visioneering.” Nehemiah does prays for the opportunity to rebuild the city wall himself; he doesn’t prayer for God to rebuild it for him. Nehemiah was a man of vision, not just a dream. “Dreamer dream about things being different. Visionaries envision themselves making a difference. Dreamers think about how nice it would be for something to be done. Visionaries look for an opportunity to do something.” (p.32)
