When I was a kid I had lots of dreams. Big and crazy dreams. Dreams about being like Superman and flying around in the sky. Or like Spiderman slinging webs and swinging from building to building. Or like Luke Skywalker and piloting a spacecraft across the galaxy.
As I got a bit older the dreams shifted from the fantastical to the realistic, but they nevertheless remained big. I dreamed about traveling the world and seeing the great wonders and meeting new people. I dreamed about being famous and having people seek me out to help them. I dreamed about having so much money that I could take care of my family and give to charities or start my own to make a difference in the world. (Okay maybe that's what I hope I was dreaming. Let's be honest. I wanted to get rich to have a nice life and date hot chicks.)
Then I got older and something called "reality" kicked in. There's these pesky bills and responsibilities that showed up that were nowhere to be found when I was a kid. Over time the big dreams shrank to match the new reality. This happens to a lot of people. What happened to all the big dreams and the great things I wanted to do?
Lose weight. Pay off my house. Save money for retirement. Come on is this the best I can do??
I've been working on a Dream Board and the sky is the limit. I want to be scared and excited by these new dreams.

It's time to dream big again. Won't you join me?
@brandonwilson "Lose weight. Pay off my house. Save money for retirement. Come on is this the best I can do??" - omg this really resonated.
@brandonwilson I have the same thought a few months ago. When I'm dreaming something ambitious to the point of almost fantasizing about it and the REALITY always slap me with both hands and saying NO( sometimes not yet)
But I like the fact that I could do something about my dream even small things each day towards it. Maybe "Dream BIG, act small" would be a good extension to your next title.
@chrisdeuda That’s a great point! You are right it’s the little things we do every day that move us either toward our dreams or away from them.
@brandonwilson Make Dreams Big Again. I like! And I definitely agree. I think ambitious goals are easier to accomplish because we pursue them with enthusiasm.
