A big dream takes you all the way to where you want to go.  Sometimes we are afraid to dream BIG and to aspire to accomplish BIG results. And sometimes that fear causes us to settle for taking smaller steps toward smaller goals. This can be a good strategy if there is a clear and obvious next step from the first small goal to the next. Achieving small goals can move us gradually in the direction we want to go.

But sometimes the only way to reach our desired destination is to gather the courage to aim for that BIG dream without intermediate steps. Sometimes we must risk failure in order to achieve the BIG goal. Sometimes we must take the risk of falling and trying again to achieve the goal, even if others think our goals are too optimistic or too great a reach.

“Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.”        — David Lloyd George
