Inspiration and humility

Work yourself into a heated state of inspiration. Then splash yourself with the chilled water of humility.

Yes, you can dream big and you can make progress in the direction of those dreams. Yet doing so requires a healthy and persistent dose of reality.

Humble yourself in the presence of your own aspirations. Dare to dream and humbly acknowledge that your dream demands a massive amount of hard work and time.

That’s a powerful combination. Your dreams will keep you motivated while your humility keeps you honest and disciplined.

You’re fully capable of great achievement, but it’s not because you’re the greatest achiever who has ever lived. It’s because you have the opportunity of doing the often tedious work, day after day, year upon year, to reach your goal.

Envision the highest and best, then temper that vision with humility. For that’s precisely how you make it come to life.
