It is okay to dream big, but you must do the work to make your dream happen. It is just a dream without action. And nothing happens without the right action. When it comes to growing yourself, you should focus on what is in front of you. You should not work to be better than others, but to be better than yourself. Growth takes time. You are going to be patience with yourself. Nothing happens overnight. Your dreams are not going to happen overnight. Don’t worry about what others are doing. Just worry about what you are doing. If you have the courage to focus on your work, on your life, you will be better than yourself.

“Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.”– William Faulkner
