Dream further than you dare imagine

In 2006, my biggest dream was to be a doctor. When I bombed Chem 101, medical school evaporated. Heartbroken, I started blogging just for fun. I never called myself a writer—too scared to claim the title.

But that same year, I wrote a vision statement declaring I’d one day publish a bestselling book and empower millions with my words. It felt delusional. Fast-forward a decade, I signed my first book deal. My debut hit the New York Times list. Not because I was luckier than anyone else, but because I finally dared to dare.

Dreaming audaciously unlocked my path. Instead of curbing my hopes to dodge disappointment, I let them grow wild. In creativity research, we see that imagining a future beyond your current reality sparks neural pathways that guide new action.

You need that spark. Don’t wait for perfect timing—build your own rocket. When you dream wildly, you wake up ready to build.

You’ve sketched the wildest dream hidden in your mind—now watch it pull you into action. Tonight, pick the single most audacious goal from your list and sketch your first milestone. Share it with someone who believes in you and ask them to check in on your first step. Tomorrow starts now. Stay aiming sky-high.
