Too many people live like plankton(a small see plant without its own direction)—drifting aimlessly wherever the current of life carries them. Without direction, it’s easy to become swept away by circumstances instead of steering your own course. But if you want to achieve anything of lasting significance, you must first anchor your life to a dream.

James Allen once observed, “You will become as small as your controlling desire, as great as your dominant aspiration.” That truth is timeless. Your dream has the power to define your potential. Small dreams create small results. Big dreams open the door to greatness.

If you’re unsure of your dream, don’t despair. Dedicate time for focused reflection—moments of stillness where you ask yourself the big questions: What do I truly want? What difference do I want my life to make? When you discover that dream, move toward it boldly. Don’t waste time second-guessing. Satchel Paige’s words remind us: “Don’t look back—something might be gaining on you.”

In youth, it’s natural to explore many paths. Trying new things helps you discover your strengths, weaknesses, and passions. But as you grow older and more experienced, focus becomes the key to greatness. Jim Collins captured it well: “The real path to greatness, it turns out, requires simplicity and diligence.”

True focus isn’t just about avoiding distractions—it’s about setting your mind on what you want most. W. Clement Stone put it simply: “Keep your mind off the things you don’t want by keeping it on the things you do want.”

Your dream is your compass. It will not only guide your steps but also shape the legacy you leave behind. Dare to dream big, dare to pursue it with passion, and dare to live with the kind of focus that turns aspiration into achievement.
