Make all your dreams come true...

·      Start each day with vision and hope.

·      And work hard to end it with achievement.

 

Today’s quote implies that a balanced approach to life is crucial. Much like beginning your day with a good breakfast to nourish and sustain you, hope fills you with enthusiasm and motivation to set our intentions and keeps us moving forward. But while having hope is great at the start, at the end of the day it won’t be worth much more than disappointment if your hopes aren’t realized. You must get actively involved with every facet of the plan to make those hopes and dreams come true. Whatever you’re doing – building something, working on a project at work, or having friends for dinner, it needs your focus and energy to make it happen. Make a plan, communicate it to others, work collaboratively, give and get feedback, provide coaching or training where needed, and celebrate small wins throughout the day. As one of my favorite colleagues used to say, ‘nothing comes easy’. But if it’s worth doing, then commit yourself to doing it well and finishing it. Nothing will get done without your active involvement today.
