9 Truths About Achieving Your Dreams

1. Your dream is your aspiration, nothing more, nothing less. It is something that you wanted to achieve or become when you were young, and when you are in the here and now
2. We are always achieving our dreams, not someone else dreams. Even if you decide to help your child achieve his dreams, that is also your dream, not your child's dreams
3. When you are not achieving your dreams, you are not a failure, you are just slow in your path. You need to examine if you are on the right path. Do you have a platform that helps you to achieve your dreams faster and easier?
4. It is the pursuit of your dreams that propels you to greater heights
