“You never will be the person you can be if pressure, tension and dis- cipline are taken out of your life.” James G. Bilkey, Author. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are 10 years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn 11. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up. You may not know the answer to every question right now, but keep in mind that the circumstances you think only spell misery may con- tain the seeds of something pro- foundly good. Dreams build bridges between where we are now and where we can be in the future whether that means tomorrow, six months from now or 10 years from now. Fuelling our inner drive, they make our feet light, our tasks exciting instead of burdensome and our hopes infinitely possible. Thinking about a goal that you're only half-excited about is not going to help you manifest that goal too fast. But think about a goal that really makes you excit- ed... makes you weep with joy because the excitement of attain- ing it is so wonderful - NOW you're adding power to your thoughts, drawing that goal towards you.
