I often hear of people getting hassled over their desire to do something powerful, bold, and intentional. As a result I spend more time than I should thinking about what I would say to these nay-sayers. Tonight my perfect answer gelled and I thought I would share it just in case it might help a dreamer out there.

Either one of us may die tomorrow. I may be swept from the decks and drowned, you may be hit by a bus on your way to work. If I succeed I will snorkel, hike, and live truly, in paradise. If you succeed you will get to work.

Don’t be a naysayer, and don’t let one get you down. If you know someone who dares to dream, hoist them up on your shoulders and carry them forward. If you are a dreamer, share your passion freely and lift those around you up too.
