Aim for the highest star you can…
-Anonymous
We just came fresh out of graduation…
We come back from a
much needed vacation with new energy…
Or we even wake up
one morning with renewed vigor…
…ready for a new venture.
The air is filled
with excitement and perhaps a little bit of dread, which is natural (we tell ourselves),
because every new venture involves a little risk.
What is that new goal you have set for yourself? What is
that new dream you have pictured?
Throughout our entire lives we are told to aim high, to
dream big. It is healthy to do so, of course, but it is healthier to remember
that realism (different from negativism) is an important tool we’ll need if we
are to succeed.
So I say:
Aim for the highest star you can…
…but make sure your rifle has the range
Aim fir the highest star you can…
…after making sure there’s bullets in your gun
Aim for the highest star you can…
…and make patience your greatest friend
Aim for the highest star you can…
…and realize it may take more than one shot to hit it
Aim for the highest star you can…
…and remember not to
stall, shoot!!
Lesson Learned: Success lies in the perfect balance between picturing a dream and reaching for it.
