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

How Much Do You Want What You Want?

You know what you want, right? If you know what you want, how much do you really want it?

Do you want what you want because you want people to like you, or do you really want what you want for yourself? Think about it.

The only way to enjoy what you want is to want it for yourself. If you want something for other reasons, you won’t enjoy it.

Your goals have to be your goals. Don’t go after anything because people want you to do it. Do it because you like it. Do it because it makes you happy. Do it because it is bigger than you. Do it because it is really what keeps you going.

Do it if you want it. But don’t do it because everybody is doing it. You are not here to pursue other people’s dreams. You are here to do your own things.

Dr Joseph Murphy said, “How much do you want what you want?” If you want your dream to come true, don’t play with it. Throw yourself into it to make it happen. Don’t just talk about it. You must do the work.

If you really want what you want, you must commit yourself to it to make it happen. If you don’t do that, it means you don’t really want it. Do you really want what you want?
