Do You Have a Dream?

Do you have a dream? Then promise yourself that you won’t stop chasing it until you’re living it. No excuses. No doubts. No trade-offs. Just YOU becoming everything you’ve ever dreamed of being.

There is just no way of running away from it; as long as you’re surrounded by parents, teachers, friends and other people who are giving you – loving – advice and guidance, your dreams are in jeopardy.
