"They will see us waving from such great heights,
'Come down now', they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'Come down now', but we'll stay..."
- Such Great Heights by The Postal Service
People may tell you...
"Don't you dare dream too big.
You'll fail.
You'll get hurt.
Don't you dare take the long way out.
Take the easy way.
It's safer; predictable.
Don't you dare think that you can change anything.
The world has made up it's mind.
All your work will be wasted on people who simply don't care.
Here, let me think this through for you.
Let me make this decision for you.
I know what's best.
I know what's safe."
Let me you in on a little secret... Ready? Here it is:
DON'T LISTEN TO THEM!
Dare to dream big.
Yes, you will fail...
But failing will only show you what doesn't work to reach your dream.
Failing equals a new opportunity to find out what works.
Reaching one of those dreams that seems unreachable won't come without stumbling blocks.
Don't take the easy way out.
That is settling for average.
That is settling for safety.
Strive for greatness.
No, you will never change the world.
However, you can change someone's world.
Helping one person, on one day, for one minute...
That's making a life better.
Don't let others think for you.
Be courageous enough to search, find, and grow for yourself.
That's the stuff dreams are made of...
Dare to Imagine. Dare to Create. Dare to Explore. Dare to Dream.
Sara your such an inspirational wirter. Your posts always make someone feel warm and fuzzy inside. =)
