The biggest risk that one has - Is to be a Quitter!
A dream is just the miles between a thought and reality, which can only be accomplished by two words – Don’t Quit!
There may be disagreements, failures, wrong curves taken, bumps, hurdles....one has no control on any of these....
It can be brutal. In fact it always is, but the trick is to remain in the game.
All the success stories have bricks of fear, failure, hurdles in their foundation; but out of these the strongest brick in all remains to continue the path.
The path maybe absolutely unknown and full of uncertainty which can lead to anxiety, self-sabotage, scare – even paralysis. Unknown can kill dreams. Sadly, it often does.
But, Unknown is also the single most consistent factor in those who experience the same dreams come true.

As Robin says, “To lead without a title you will have to be unrealistically persistent and wildly courageous.”
Few ways I have learnt which will walk one through those miles from a dream to reality,
- Improve your expertise in the field
- Reasons for accomplishing something must be compelling enough, then nothing can stop you
- Create a support system/team around you to motivate when you are close to quitting
- Take everything as a lesson
- Realize what you have to lose if you don’t go after what you care about
The best way to keep yourself going is to leave every person you meet energetic, positive and more in love with life than you found them.
