This desktop wallpaper is one of my favourites. It inspires me to get to work, to think big, to stop making excuses, and to shoot for the moon. I need this!
If you can’t see the graphic, it is a photo of the moon with the question beside it, “How far will your dreams take you?”
When I designed it, I was thinking about how the dream of walking on the moon inspired so many people to invest their so much of their time and resources into making it happen.
It started as science fiction. Jules Verne imagined what it might be like to rocket to the moon. Less than 100 years later, it was actually happening. People caught hold of the dream and made it reality through years of planning, huge financial investment, and lots of hard work.
How hard are you willing to work?
How far will your dreams take you? The answer to this question depends on the answer to another question. How hard are you willing to work?
Because our dreams alone take us nowhere.
I am not saying that dreams aren’t powerful. They are.
Dreams can change how we feel about ourselves, and even change who we are inside, but it is ultimately up to us to act to change the circumstances around us.
Do you shoot for the moon?
Our dreams take us places, and our thoughts change our lives, only so far as we are willing to put feet to them and take action. Dreams empower us by shaping our plans and fueling our perseverance.
How far will your dreams take you? As far as you can imagine, and as far as your feet are willing to walk.
Dreams empower us by shaping our plans and fueling our perseverance.
