Treasure Your Dreams

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” –Theodore Roosevelt

Never be afraid to take risks; to have the courage to pursue your dreams; to take the chance of failing at something. Failure is really never possible unless you simply quit trying – until then, it is simply a delay on your journey to success. Successful people not only dream big, but DO big as well – when you dream big and complete big actions to follow those dreams, success won’t be too far behind.

“Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing, it’s when you’ve had everything to do and you’ve done it!” –Margaret Thatcher

As a procrastinator at heart, I love this quote. It’s a great motivator for me as I go through my day to keep to the task at hand, knowing that at the end of the day as I’m climbing into bed I will be able to let out a sigh of satisfaction at what I’ve completed rather than one of dread of the day to come. Remember this quote, and remember this feeling as you go about your seemingly-endless daily tasks – know that in the end, it will be worth it!
