While sitting in a Starbucks I noticed this great quote in a book for sale. This quote reiterates a simple truth- have the right attitude and maintain a positive mindset.

I’m often intrigued by successful people and individuals who are affecting greater change in the world. A common thread with all these individuals, is they’ve always persevered through the odds, critics, their own failures and difficult circumstances. More importantly, their passion in life is so great- it drives them to have a seemingly unreachable goals or a dreams that challenge the status quo.

This quote encapsulates to me an important point- set goals outside of the bounds of what a realist would do. You have to extend yourself to do this even if you’re a linear thinker who requires rationale for everything. If you don’t- you’re going through life operating with nothing to reach for. Everyone has dreams, no matter the stage in life you’re in (young and old).

Dream and dream big. Have the patience to piece together “the ladder” in what it takes to get you there. Use your passion to follow through with doing what it takes to accomplish that dream.
