"Shoot for the moon.  Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars."
 - Les Brown -

Goals are the stuff of which dreams are made.  Created within ourselves, they dangle before us shimmering promises of an expanded horizon and endless possibilities.  Our goals are our stepping stones.  Each one we reach serves as an oasis, a fertile, delight-filled sanctuary on our journey of a purposeful life.

Our dreams and goals are limitless, they're as grand as we make them.  People who enjoy big successes in their lives dream big and set their goals accordingly.  Setting and achieving goals showers us with positivity and makes our dreams come alive.  Through our goals, we get to experience our unique and full participation in the act of creation, and that's one of the most delicious things I know.

Sure, the bigger the goals we set, the bigger the perception of risk becomes.  So what?  To offer yourself some balance when reaching for the sky, use my favorite standard reality check and ask "What's the worst thing that could happen?".  If the worst thing isn't really so bad, why not find your way to go for it?

This is your life right now.  Which one of your life dreams are you prepared to make a reality?  Choose your dream, commit to it, take action, and it will become real.  Set measurable, achievable goals, as many as it takes to get you from "here" to "there", and blast off.  Before you know it, you'll be dancing on the moon!

The sky's the limit . . .
