Dream. Dream as big as you can. Dream as if there were no limits. When you find your dream, give yourself the chance to dream even bigger.
No matter what you do, the world will tell you it’s impossible, improbable, impractical and everything else in between. But if you believe in what you’re doing, and it’s done with a good heart, you must make it come to a reality.
Why?
Because you can.
And because you can, you must.
You are the only one who sees what you see. The dream is completely unique to you and it lives and dies with you. So while you are here on this planet, give it one hell of a run for its money.
One of my favorite quotes of all time is by a Nike advertisement and it goes something like this…
All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you’re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough. They’ll say you’re the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no until all the no’s become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. They will tell you no. And you will tell them yes.
Step into what you’re afraid to do. It’s going to help you grow. It’s going to give you a path to becoming more. That’s why you’re really here in the first place – to discover who you were always meant to be.
That path is a long one and it doesn’t happen overnight. It’s easy to get discouraged at times. In fact, with all of the things that happen in life, it can be really easy to lose your way completely.
But I want you to always tell yourself this when you are lost. “Come back.” Come back to who you know you are. Come back to the beat within your chest guiding the way. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been lost.
Come back. Come back. Come back.
