It’s time to sit face to face with your dream(s). Don’t waste energy on excuses, resistance, negotiations and psychological impossibilities of your own making.

Look the dream(s) straight in the eye! Address them as “you”.

Be determined and take responsibility for your path! Don’t whine about difficulties. Find out the possibilities and put all your energy at the service of realizing your dream(s).

Are there charges? Sure! But they are smaller when we live close to our dreams, our purpose, our responsibility, our best than when we live in the shadow of fear, laziness and obstacles.
