Dream Big

If there was ever a time to dare, to make a difference, 
to embark on something worth doing, it is now. 
Not for any grand cause necessarily, 
but for something that tugs at your heart, 
something that's your aspiration,
something that's your dream.

You owe it to yourself to make your days here count.
Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch. Dream big.

Know though, that things worth doing seldom come easy.
There will be good days and there will be days when you
will want to turn around, pack it up, call it quits. 

Those times will tell you that you are pushing yourself, that you
are not afraid to learn by trying. Persist.

Because with an idea, determination, and the right tools,
you can do great things. Let your instincts, your intellect,
and your heart guide you. Trust.

Believe in the incredible power of the human mind. Of doing
something that makes a difference. Of working hard.
Of laughing and hoping. Of lazy afternoons, of lasting friends.
Of all the things that will cross your path this year.

The start of something new brings the hope of something great.
Anything is possible. There is only one of you. And you will
pass this way only once."

If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive.—Barry Lopez, in Crow and Weasel
