Dream big or live small! Cinderella stories rarely happen by accident. Setting fairytales aside for a moment, inspirational paeans far more commonly happen by design and as the direct product of wildly creative thinking in the beginning, augmented later by hard, targeted labor. Reach for the sky, not for that low-hanging apple branch just over yonder. The only way you can accomplish great things is by dreaming great things. Don’t set stout boundaries on your imagination because boundaries are by definition self-limiting and then you wind up placing firm, infrangible constraints on the life you want to live. If you only color within the lines, you’ll never know what exists outside those lines. Setting definite life parameters is not exactly a recipe for grand success. Instead, it’s a recipe for a miniature, truncated life lived exclusively inside one of those cute, shake-me-up snow domes sold at Christmastime.
