Daring to be your greatest self

Sometimes I am quite introverted, wanting to curl up with a book and or some piece of technology, laying there alone with my thoughts.  It is during those times when I feel vulnerable, that I tend to dream of myself as something greater, a dragonslayer.  Why not? Why can't I be the conquerer?  You may have heard one too many times..."just believe in yourself:".  You may have heard these words so many times that they have lost their meaning.  The truth is we do have the ability to change, and we  really can succeed at even the greatest challenges set before us. Gather strength from friends, family, or those who you perceive as "having it all together" and take the first step towards becoming your greatest self. 

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

Take your mark....!


I am a morning person.  When I wake up I am usally hopeful about my morning and the things to follow during the day.  It is most difficult for me however, when things are not going as planned, how do I remain hopeful when my timeline gets a wrinkle in it? First, I have to recognize that I am not on track- typically easy for me to see.  I see it coming a mile off ,in fact.  Once I recognize that things have changed I must be willing to confront the hurdle and decide my next move.   When you are ready to commit to a lifestyle change you know there are often many obstacles to overcome.  The path to the goal is not always a straight one either.  Will I let the hurdle trip me, will I run around the hurdle, or will I jump it? 



Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than before.    - Polybius
