Success Strategy: Small Dreams Accomplished Are Better Than Big Dreams Never Realized

It is important to our professional and personal success to dream, and to dream big. If we do not, we will never get what we want.

However, there comes a time when we have to look at our dreams and determine if they are achievable. We may not have the abilities, skills, or knowledge to achieve our big dreams. We may not have the time, money, ability, or dedication to achieve our big dreams. We may not be willing to pay the price to achieve them.

As long as we continue to pursue a dream, that is time, money, and energy that we do not have to pursue anything else.

For example, I would love to be a writer like J.K. Rowling. How wonderful would it be to create a completely new world of characters and adventures that brings so much enjoyment to so many people! After many attempts, I know that I do not have the ability to write entertaining fiction. That does not mean, however, that I cannot write other types of books. I can achieve a small dream of writing, publishing, and selling books even if I cannot achieve a big dream of becoming a world-renown fiction writer. I can help people in my own way, even if I cannot transport them to a wonderful world of magic.

Look at your dreams and the length of time you have spent on them. Are you any closer to achieving them than you were 5 years ago? 10? 20? If not, it may be time to revise your dreams.

I am sure there are those who disagree with me! I would love to hear your thoughts!
