Your dreams don’t come true right away. They might not even come true the first few times you give that maximum effort. But, if you continue to strive to achieve every single day, no matter how much life seems to beat you down, you’ll one day sit in the shade of that giant tree you planted.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. – Carl Sagan

That incredible thing could be yours. You’ll never know unless you go after it. You can’t sit around and wait for things to get better or hope that your life miraculously improves. You have to make things happen for yourself. It will be incredible.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. – Tony Robbins

Getting started is the trick. Once you make the first decision, the next decision is a little bit easier. Every choice you make simply makes your destiny clearer to your mind’s eye. You must take each decision with the end in mind.

“The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.” – Vince Lombardi

You have so much to give. If you keep it inside you, then you have not given the world what it has given you. You cannot be measured as a full person if you keep all of you to yourself. That’s selfish. Give back to the world and it will continue to give to you.

“The things that we love tell us what we are.” – Thomas Aquinas
If your only motivation is money, you will not succeed. If money is a part of that dream, that’s great. What you really have to pursue are those things that you truly love. You will lose any pursuit if it is one dimensional. Pursue what you love and success is guaranteed.

“From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.” – Aeschylus

When you plant the smallest idea of what you are hoping to have in life, your dreams will grow into a giant tree. Jesus told the story of a mustard seed becoming a strong and mighty tree. When you begin with even the smallest goal, there’s no telling what may grow from those tiny seeds.

“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.” – Mary Kay Ash

How long are you going to hold yourself back from having what you really want in life? Your dreams belong to you, but you have to bring them to the present for yourself. When you are making things happen for yourself, the journey itself brings joy to your heart.

“It’s a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get It.” – W. Somerset Maugham

We must always strive for the best and never be satisfied with anything less. If you accept less than what you deserve, you will always under value yourself. Learn to understand your own value and never settle for “good enough.”

“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” ~ Epictetus

This is a great way to look into the future and pull your current self towards what you want to be. What most people do instead is look at the past and beat themselves up over all of the things they’ve done. That just keeps you stuck in the past, or rather stuck in the moment because you’re not using the present to make for a brighter future. By using this future focused vision, and then starting today to do the things necessary to get you where you’re going, you’ll get there much more quickly.

“Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.” – Oscar Wilde

The human mind is capable of incredible things. Learn to use it and live outside of your means. Get out of your comfort zone to learn news things about yourself and the people around you. An imagination is a terrible thing to waste.
