Following and eventually living your dreams is inspiring. What else are we here for if not to live our dreams?

Here's the truth: the world needs us to live up to the greatness inside of us. And it doesn't matter if you don't have any evidence yet of what those are. You still get to dream big and go for it.

Sharing my belief in the power of vision in this 5 Minute Friday, Episode 546.
