Dreams don’t work unless you do.
You can make dreams come true.
Every dream requires work, taking risks and determination, life does not gift you success.

Pursuing your dreams
How many of us have become drunks and drug addicts, developed tumors and neuroses, succumbed to painkillers, gossip, and compulsive cell-phone use, simply because we don’t do that thing that our hearts, our inner genius, is calling us to? Resistance defeats us.
If tomorrow morning by some stroke of magic every dazed and benighted soul woke up with the power to take the first step toward pursuing his or her dreams, every shrink in the directory would be out of business. Prisons would stand empty. The alcohol and tobacco industries would collapse, along with the junk food, cosmetic surgery, and infotainment businesses, not to mention pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and the medical profession from top to bottom.
Domestic abuse would become extinct, as would addiction,
obesity, migraine headaches, road rage, and dandruff.Steven Pressfield in The War of Art

Forgiveness
Maybe some of you are in a situation where you can relate:
To forgive is to permanently shed hurt feelings and to put something away. It means drawing a line under something and saying, “Finished.”… The courage to forgive is gigantic, an the courage to acknowledge the needs to forgive is perhaps even greater.

Get to know yourself
Be sure of the foudnation of your life. Know why you life as you do. Be ready to give a reason for it. Do not, in such matter as life, build an opinion or custom on what you guess is true. Make it a matter of certainty and science.

Stop your excuses and get going!
If you wait for everything to be perfect according to your preconceived plan, then you may well wait forever. If you go out and work with the current of life, you may find that success comes from building upon small things.
