As long as you're actively pursuing your dream with a practical plan, you're still achieving, even if it feels as though you're going nowhere fast. Its been my experience that at the very moment I feel like giving up, I'm only one step from a breakthrough. Hang on long enough and circumstances will change, too. Trust in yourself, your dream and spirit.

Always remember that striving and struggle precede success even in the dictionary.

Always remember, it's simply not an adventure worth telling if there aren't any dragons.

Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.

Each day offers us the gift of being a special occasion if we can simply learn that as well as giving, it is blessed to receive with grace and a grateful heart.

Let passion be your muse. Let her guide and teach you to trust your instincts.

Second thoughts have aborted more dreams than all the difficult circumstances, overwhelming obstacles, and dangerous detours fate ever could throw at you.
