As a kid, I dreamed of playing in the NFL, like most kids do. It always seemed achievable, but statistics suggest otherwise. Making it to the NFL is a very difficult task. Only 1.6% of college players make it, and some people don’t even make it to college.
I say all this to say that I did it. I would be lying if I said it was hard to do. Don’t get me wrong, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but that goes for anything you want in life. I just had to make the right choices. Making it to the NFL was very eye-opening. I realized that it is possible to achieve your wildest dreams, and I also learned that a lot of times we do not dream big enough.
If I can make it to the NFL against all odds, what else can I do? I have to think even bigger because I know it’s possible. You may have a big goal or dream that you feel is hard to reach, but believe me when I tell you that you’re closer to that goal than you think, and it’s easier to achieve than you think.
So, whatever your biggest dream is, think even bigger. You’re more than capable of reaching it.
