"You will not do incredible things without an incredible dream." ~ Dr. John Eliot from Overachievement
That thought comes from a chapter in Dr. John Eliot's great book, Overachievement, entitled: "Embracing the Last Taboo--Being as "Unrealistic" as You Can." The chapter alone is worth the price of the book. It's one big inspiring quote.
The essence is very simple. If we want to live a life of greatness, if we want to honor that deep drive within each of us to fully express ourselves in this precious hero's journey of ours, we MUST step outside of what's "reasonable" and dare to dream. BIG.
And, then have the courage to protect that dream from those around us who tell us to be "realistic." (As Eliot says, "as soon as anyone starts telling you to be "realistic," cross that person off your invitation list." :)
So, what are your dreams?
Eliot asks, "If you could do anything at all, what would it be?"
Well, what would it be, my friend? What would it be?!?!
In pursuit of our incredible dreams!
"Exceptional thinkers ignore their critics and go about their business making history."
