You could be one hit song away from being a superstar. You could be one touchdown away from the NFL. You could be one relationship away from your dream job.
A lot of times our big dreams seem far away and out of reach, but in reality they are much closer than we think. Every dream that I have achieved came much faster than I though it would. That doesn’t mean I just sat on my butt and did nothing. I had to put the work in and make the right choices. Most importantly I had to keep my faith in God.
We often want things in life, but do not fully or effectively pursue them. It’s important to try all ideas, invest in yourself as much as possible, meet new people, etc, because you don’t know what will be the tipping point to your success.
Most importantly, you have to believe that it’s possible. If I told you that it was guaranteed a million dollars at the end of a particular rainbow, you would do whatever you could to get to the end of that rainbow to get that money. That’s how I feel about our dreams. If you really believe you are that star athlete, or have a life changing idea, or a talented music artist, anything; your actions would be consistent to those beliefs and your faith would be unwavering.
The great thing about your dreams is that most likely someone has already achieved something similar. They are the blueprint. They can help make your dreams closer and more achievable. Study them and make similar moves. If my son wanted to go to the NFL, it would be much easier for him to make it than it was for me.
Pursue all those ideas, meet the right people, put the work in. Don’t give up. You are closer to your dreams than you think.
