The first step to doing anything big is creating your own reality—a reality where you can do that big thing; where you can see it happening.

The second step is *believing* in that reality, deep in your bones. 

When you read of people who do big things, listen closely to what they say and what it reflects—they often see their outcome as inevitable. They will find a way, and it’s just a matter of time. A foundational item is self-belief. Before you can do something, you have to believe you can do it.

Most people will question themselves when others start to put their own limitations on them…what they see as possible, or what they think. Who cares if people laugh, or if they don’t believe? Block them out. Move forward anyway. What you believe should be the guiding light of your own life. Don’t let other people hold the reins to your future. 

They don’t know you.

You are the master of your own reality. And it’s time to make it real.
