“No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.” ~Robin Williams

So can your dreams, and your daring, backed up by your doing.

Your words, ideas, dreams—could change the world.

There’s an acronym with which business leaders are familiar: BHAG (big hairy ass goal).

It’s the out-of-reach, on the edge of reality kind of goal, a dream that motivates you, fuels you, fills you, and inspires you to keep going, to keep giving.

John F. Kennedy: “We choose to go to the moon this decade.”

Goals like that ignite flames of persistence.

Andy Dufresne summed it up neatly in the movie Shawshank Redemption; “Get busy living or get busy dying.”

Your dreams are powerful medicine.

So, honour them, honour your ideas.

Put words to them.

They can change the world.

Or at least the corner of it in which you live.
