Because if you don’t, no one will.

But just because you think you are capable of achieving greatness, doesn’t mean people believe you can. More often than not you will be written off as someone with over inflated dreams.

I’ve told a few people that I hope to one day be an International Best Selling author. They’ve each told me they believed I can pull it off. A handful were lying. Some believed miracles actually do happen. Some only said what they said just in case I really succeeded, then they could say, I always believed he could do it.

I’ve picked out the genuine few who truly believe in me though. And I hold them close to me, as my fuel, as my pillar, as my reason.

But merely having faith in yourself takes you nowhere if it is not backed by action. All the years of education, of reading, of travelling to foreign lands, of eating strange food, enduring heartbreak, of talking to strangers. I will have to harness it all into this effort. The pieces are all there. It’s a matter of connecting the dots.

“There is no dream too big, and no dreamer too small.” That has been my life’s mantra. And I’m currently living it.
