Mark Twain said, “All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.”

I believe that’s because the less you over analyze something, the more likely you are to just do it. Sometimes, ignorance truly is bliss. If you have confidence in yourself, you’ll take the leap and then figure out each subsequent step as it comes your way. You don’t have to have all the answers in place ahead of time. In fact, it’s a waste of time to—you can’t predict everything.

So I challenge you to dream bigger. The bigger the dream, the more intimidating it is when you think of what it will take to accomplish it. Small dreams may be easier to achieve, but they also lead to mediocrity and unfulfilled potential.

Think of the  year as a brand-new blank 365-page book—do you want to start chapter one by limiting your greatness? I don’t think so!
