Dream Big, Start Small

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine.  It’s not just in some of us; it's in all of us.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”  

Pretty powerful quote that I felt impelled to share with all of you.  I certainly believe that it speaks the truth to the vast majority.  With that being said, have you become comfortable with where you are in this world?  Have you decided to throw in the towel and just go through the motions for the rest of your days?  Why?  Was your dream to far away, was it going to be too much of a struggle, too much of grind, too much of a sacrifice?  This is your life; it belongs to no one else.  This is your opportunity; if you want something bad enough, if you feel like life is empty without it, don’t stop just because it gets hard.  The biggest enemy to all of us is ourselves.  We stop ourselves from doing great things on a daily basis.  We habitually have been ingrained to be afraid of failure, to be scared to make a mistake.  But realize that you don’t need to be perfect in this life to be great, to inspire others, to be invincible, to be who you want, to do what you want, to get what you want.  There is never going to be a “perfect” time to do something.  You have to create the perfect time, the perfect opportunity, the perfect situation.  But realize that’s not how they start.  You just have to start.  Start now.

In this life the easiest thing you can do is stay at the bottom.  You certainly don’t need to put any effort into to being a loser, to stay down at a low level.  You don’t need any motivation, you definitely don’t need any drive.  What takes all of you, what takes your drive, what forces you to harness your will is to say you’re going to challenge yourself.  Today is the most important day of your life.  What you did yesterday doesn’t matter anymore, today is what cements who you are.  This life has given us the opportunity of a life time.  But it means absolutely nothing when you we don’t take advantage of it in the lifetime of this opportunity.  Greatness is a lot of small things done well repeatedly.  Day after day, workout after workout. 

You’ve got to make every single second count.  Look into the future and return to the present and start taking those small steps to making your dreams come true.  Think big, dream big, but start small.  Start where you are with what you have because what you have is plenty.  If you want something bad enough go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your peace and your sleep for it.  Say yes to your life, to your dreams, to your unfolding future. 

Leave no dream behind.  Rise and grind and leave this earth on E.
