Dream big or go home.


Dreams float just above the clouds; slightly out of reach...daring you to jump, threatening you with a long fall and sudden stop. Standing on the edge of everything you've worked for, the peak of excellence, persistence, patience, and hard work...it's hard to let your feet leave the ground. The fear of failure, of rejection, of disappointment can be petrifying. But standing still gets you nowhere. 

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.”

A dream is only your dream if you truly desire it. When you obsess over it, when it consumes you, then you know it is yours. Until then, it is a fantasy. A silly made-up wish that you hope you might obtain one day. Truth is hope isn’t going to do anything. You need to need it, not just want it…the difference between a dream and a fantasy is commitment. It’s always nice to want something, but until you are willing to go out there and get it, it will never be yours. 



If you can dream it, you can become it.
