Dream Big

October 21, 2008

From: Riffenbary, J. (2007). No excuse! incorporating core values, accountability, and balance into our life and career. Possibility Press.

"If there were ever a time to dare to make a difference, to do something really worth doing, that time is now. Not for any grand cause, necessarily, but for something that tugs at your heart, something that's your aspiration, something that's your dream. You owe it to yourself to make your days here count. Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch. Dream big. Know that things worth doing seldom come easily. There will be good days. And there probably will be bad days. There will be times when you want to turn around, pack it up, and call it quits. Those times come only to tell you that you are pushing yourself, and that you are not afraid to learn and grow. Persist. Because with an idea, determination, and the right tools, you can do great things. Let your instincts, your intellect, and your heart guide you. Trust. Believe in the incredible power of the human mind, in the power of doing things that really make a difference of working hard, of laughing and hoping, of reaching out, of saying 'I love you,' of lasting friends, of all things that will cross your path this year. The start of something new rings hope of something great. Anything is possible. There is only one you. And you will pass this particular way only once. Live your dream! Make a difference (Riffenbary, 2007, p.212)."
