Build castles in the air - Monday Morning ☕ Coffee with CHAD GRABHAM

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

“It’s OK to build castles in the air . . . so long as you build a firm foundation under them.”

~ Henry David Thoreau

WANT TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING REALLY GREAT?

Ever dream of becoming a U.S. Senator? Want to become an anonymous benefactor of youth programs in your community? Want to rise to the top 1% of your profession? Inspirational artist D. Morgan puts it this way: “The impossible dream . . . isn’t!” 

So – how do dreams become reality? Once your dream becomes your passion, you can begin building the foundation that will support the eventual structure of your dream. Begin by reading and studying how others have achieved similar dreams. 

For politicians-to-be, there are plenty of biographies that reveal the long road to election. For those who aspire to achieve peak earnings, mentors are plentiful. Hang out with, attend courses with, and “shadow” the real stars in your chosen field. Ask how they began their rise, how they blend their work and family, how they attract and retain clients and customers. 

In most cases, you will find that the models you choose have also made hard choices. They have first adopted certain principles upon which their decisions are made. Their actions are congruent with those principles. They are not duplicitous in their dealings with others. Their “word is their bond.” Their foundational character sets the tone for the structure of their dreams. 

Finally, with the foundation in place – they just build. They create plans, they implement strategies to achieve those plans. They understand that their final success does not occur in one fell swoop. It is the result of many footsteps in the direction of their dreams. 

So . . . go ahead and dream! Remember – destiny is not a matter of chance . . . it’s a matter of choice!
