To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Every accomplishment starts with a vision or a dream. Dreams inspire us to act, plans inspire us to believe. Going forward, I encourage all of you to take a few moments, or hours, to dream about what you love. Think about the moments where you are most happy. If it helps, think about your answer as a kid when you were asked "what do you want to be when you grow up?" Has it changed? If so, why has it changed? If not, what could you do to improve your dream? Think about what you would do if you never had to worry about money or time. Would you become a teacher? A chef? A stay at home parent?
Give yourself permission to dream. More importantly, give yourself permission to pursue your dream. It sounds cliche but life is too short to spend it doing something that makes you miserable. While it may be true that you are making six figures, think about the true cost of your job if you're not happy. We spend a great majority of our lives working towards making a living,it follows that we should spend that time doing something that makes us happy. I hereby declare today FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS THURSDAY! Write down your dreams, research what actions you need to take to make your dreams happen and then DO those things. Reach out to others who are already doing what you dream of doing and seek their advice. You can do it! You can live your dreams! If you believe it (and you work hard for it), you can achieve it!
