The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. Michelangelo
This has always been one of my favorite quotes, and I find it so true.
I've always believed that your dreams and goals should be bigger than you are. That you should truly reach for the stars with everything.
After all, even if you miss the stars, you'll still hit the moon and you'll be millions of miles further than those that tried to "be realistic" and stayed on earth.
I remember when I first started to compete in Ballroom and Latin Dancesport. I made the goal to become a National Champion. Everyone tried to tell me not to aim that high, that it was so hard to do and that I'd just fail.
By the time that I retired from professional competition I hadn't become a National Champion. But, I had become a 3 time United States Finalist, was in the top 5 in the nation for 3 years in a row, had been successful in the World Championships, had won numerous competitions around the country, and had been successful in 4 separate divisions.
The people that told me to "be realistic" never even competed.
And the same has been true in all areas of my life. From business, to money making, to teaching and coaching, to the martial arts, to fitness, to dance, to just about everything. Many people told me to not follow my dreams, that I'd be shooting to high. Then I took my high shot and accomplished great things while those others did nothing and accomplished nothing.
So, do yourself a favor. Always aim high. Screw the haters, they're just jealous that they don't have the courage that you do. Go after and create the life of your dreams. You can do it.
Yours in affluence,
Brett
