Dreaming is fun, but you know what’s even better. Doing.

Instead of thinking about all the things you want to do and making plans to do them… just go ahead and do them!

Want to finish writing that book? Start writing

Want to run a marathon? Start running

Stop dreaming, start doing.

Stop talking about it; start being about it.

Stop waiting, start acting

Stop looking for an opportunity to come to you, start going out and finding your opportunities.

Stop delegating responsibility to others, start taking responsibility for yourself

Make the impossible possible—by setting a goal and making it happen. The impossible is only impossible because you haven’t made it possible yet. But now you can! Because you are awesome! And you can do anything!

Don’t get overly caught up in planning out your life. Realize that the future is happening now and that you should be living in the moment.

Dreaming is a wonderful thing. The power of dreaming is so often underestimated yet dreaming can feel like the most real thing in the world.

The problem comes in when we start to confuse our dreams with reality. I’m not talking about when you’re sleeping, of course—I mean when we allow ourselves to get so caught up in our daydreams that we lose sight of the real world around us.

So, what can you do? Well, you could start by coming back down to Earth. Take a moment to look around and remind yourself where you are and what’s going on right now in your life. Even if things are happening that aren’t great, those immediate circumstances are still your reality. They deserve your attention no matter how easier it would be to just drift off into another world.

If you give up your dreams and start doing them, you might find that what you can do is quite surprising.

Let’s face it: we spend a lot of time in our heads. It’s easy to get caught up in the mental chaos, wondering about the end results of our efforts before we’ve even put any work into them.

You’re not getting any younger. While you’re thinking about your next big idea, someone else is making it happen. Don’t let your dreams be dreams! Stop dreaming and start doing!

Today is the day. Right now, at this moment, you have everything you need to make your dreams come true. So, stop dreaming and start doing!

You don’t need money or connections or contacts or a degree. Just have faith in yourself and pursue your dreams. Stop dreaming and start doing!

It’s not too late to change your life, but it will be if you keep putting it off. Start now. Start today. Start with the smallest thing—and see where it takes you! Every step count, and every day is a new chance! If you start today, no matter how small the first step, who knows what the world will look like tomorrow?
