This is so much more than an idea. It is a power source, like plugging yourself into the mains when you have been running for all this time on half-empty batteries. When you have a dream in your life, you never need to question why you are doing something or if it is worthwhile. You already know – it is taking you one step closer to the thing you

That is what a dream is capable of – it enables you not just to survive adversity but to grow through it. If you can hold onto your dream as you experience all of life’s setbacks, then it and you become stronger as a result. Because the dream is still intact, you are still here, and if those things aren’t going to stop you then perhaps nothing

A dream may give you a destination to aim for, but quickly you find yourself wondering how you are going to get there. You realise that, however confident you are, it is going to be hard. That is why you need to start with a dream rather than a plan, a goal, an objective or a hope. Because getting things done in life is difficult, you need the
