The Distance Between You and Your Dreams



The distance between you and your dreams is often the length of a single idea.
~~ Vic Conant ~~

Remember how Google founders made a fortune from just one idea? And it wasn’t even an original idea. There were lots of search engine players before them like InfoSeek, AltaVista, Yahoo and a number of others some of which don’t even exist any more. But Google florished because they kept exploring ideas to make their product better than anybody else and they still continue to come up with new ideas.

What does that say? In my view it says that to realize your dreams you need to think and explore ideas. Ideas as to what you need to do to realize your dreams, how to do what you need to do in a better and more efficient way than others. Not every idea is going to pan out. But you will never know unless you try. Even if an idea doesn’t work out, we learn valuable lessons as to why it didn’t work and how to avoid such pitfalls in future endeavours. And if one of your ideas pans out that may very well be the realization of your dreams.
