As a child, you had a natural sparkle in your eye. You never want to lose that sparkle. You were hardwired to dream bold, juicy, ingenious, and inspiring dreams. But as you grew, that audacity was smothered deep within you. You were told to be
sensible, and practical, and responsible. What a word, responsible. Because you were a little kid and you trusted the adults around you to teach you how the world worked, you bought into their fears, without realizing they were just teaching you the fearful thinking they themselves had been raised with. And so you stopped tending to your dreams. You lost private access to your power. You began to play small. And the sparkle within your eyes went dim. The main value of the past is what it’s made of you in the present, and today is the ideal day to start your best life. Six months from now, my guess is that you’ll have wished you began today. So why wait? Let go of any form of average, lift up your expectations and your standards, and get seriously unreasonable with yourself and your dreams. Because here’s the real key I’m trying to suggest to you.
The bigger your dream, the more talent gets released from within you as you walk towards it. I’m going to repeat that again because it’s so important. The bigger your dream, the more talent gets released from within you. The problem is most people don’t have the confidence and self-belief to set an audacious vision that awakens the greatness that sleeps within them.
