Double Your Vision

Imagine if my dreams at night were as boring as the average life. My nights would be filled with 9-to-5’s, 401k’s, decent health insurance, and working Saturdays. But nobody dreams about those things at night. We dream about flying, becoming a millionaire, and going to school in our underwear.

When it comes to our dream for our lives, though, many of us dream small.

Very few children dream of stable jobs and 401k’s. There’s nothing wrong with those. But kids dream about becoming a rancher, an astronaut, or a rock star. But at some point during adolescence our dreams get squashed. They shrink.

We start dreaming of easily attainable things. It’s safer that way. There’s very little risk of failure in those types of dreams. But the child inside of us is screaming for something bigger. That’s what mid-life crises are all about.

What’s your dream? Is it easily attainable?

If so, why not double it? Double what you want from life. We have no business dreaming small dreams. We need to dream dreams that make our palms sweat. We need to risk failure. We need to have trouble sleeping at night–excited about our dreams.

What’s your dream? Is it too small? It could definitely be bigger.

Dream big. Double your vision for your life.
