Dream Small

We've all heard the mantra, "Dream Big".

If a blind man dreamt of being the president, we all know his chances are practically zero.

The problem is that dreaming doesn't make it so.

You are the only thing that can do that.

You are the dreamer and the fulfiller of those dreams.

No one is going to do that for you because they're too busy trying to make their own dreams come true.

So in lies the problem. Big dreams involve too many people.

So what are we to do?

Dream Small.

Small dreams are dreams I can make happen.

Dream of a trip you'd like to take, a book you'd like to write, etc. because these things are things you can control.

But what if you want to sell the book once it's written?

That's a small dream. Something you can fully control.

What you can't control is whether you sell millions and get on the New York Times bestseller list. That is a Big Dream which is out of your control.

So dream small and live to dream another day.
