Keep Chasing

​The only momentum a dream has is the momentum you offer it. If you stop chasing, the dream dies.

You are your dream's heartbeat.

Your dream's legs.

Your dream's vision.

Whatever analogy you want to use for the life and the forward motion of your dream, you ARE that analogy.

If you stop moving toward your dream, the dream disappears.

Dreams don't wait. They don't turn around and encourage us to get moving again. Dreams don't send a rescue squad.

Dreams disappear.

My friend Kimberly Caldwell ran 100 miles this weekend for the first time. Ten years ago I never would have envisioned her accomplishing such a feat.

But I've watched her keep moving forward toward this dream the last several years.

A little more effort.

A little more distance.

A little more determination.

She never stopped chasing... until she got there.

When you don't stop chasing, your dream doesn't disappear. It doesn't become some cool idea you had years ago that no one - often including you - can even remember.

When you don't stop chasing, your dream doesn't disappear, it becomes a part of who you are.

A FOREVER part.

It's Monday. It's the perfect day to take a step toward your dream. It's a perfect day to remind yourself that if you don't take that step, you risk that dream doing a disappearing act.

Maybe there is no sadder magic trick in life than a disappearing dream?

And maybe the happiest magic trick is never letting that dream out of your sight.

Keep chasing.
