When my dreams are born, they are weak and vulnerable, and they easily die from neglect.  Dreams can only survive in the intensive care unit of my mind.  I must monitor and feed them to keep them alive.   If I keep them alive, they will keep me alive.  If I neglect them, they will die, and I will forget they ever existed.

I love working on my dreams.  There aren’t enough hours in a day for me to work on them.  When I get up in the morning, my mind is full of anticipation.  Today I will open new doors of opportunity.  When I lay my head on my pillow at night, I wish I had a few more hours to work on my purpose and plan.

There is only one time I should quit.  When what I am doing obviously isn’t working, it’s time to try a new strategy.  Managing failure is tricky.  I may be doing the right thing, but my timing is off.  I may be doing the wrong thing, but my timing is right.  If I am doing the wrong thing, or if my timing is off, I should stop what I am doing and try something new.  Failure is a signal to modify my timing or strategy.  Eventually, I will make the proper adjustments, and my dreams will come true.  I will never quit working on my dreams.
