Isolation is the dream killer.

Now is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream.

What you're really supposed to be doing is whatever makes your heart sing.

Doing is a quantum leap from imagining. Thinking about swimming isn't much like actually getting in the water. Actually getting in the water can take your breath away. The defense force inside of us wants us to be cautious, to stay away from anything as intense as a new kind of action. Its job is to protect us, and it categorically avoids anything resembling danger. But it's often wrong. Anything worth doing is worth doing too soon.

You don't have to get it right the first time.

The first step is to find out what you love - and don't be practical about it. The second step is to start doing what you love immediately, in any small way possible.

Not fulfilling your dreams will be a loss to the world, because the world needs everyone's gift - yours and mine.
