299: Dream big what matters

Do you believe in something big? I don’t mean religion, although that does qualify. I mean anything that means more to you than life itself. Or almost more.

Big shakers and movers all have big beliefs. For example, at his treason trial in 1964 Nelson Mandela said that freedom for his people is an ideal for which he lived for, but if needs be he was prepared to die for it.

There are many people amongst us who are determined to live and die for things that are bigger than themselves. Simple things like family and friends. Strangely, there are also many people who are willing to live for a car-too-fancy, a house-too-big, a phone-too-smart and a physique-too-sexy. Or to die getting there.

This summer I hope you are able to take some time off to dream big dreams, think big thoughts and believe in big ideas. I hope you come back to reality clear on what really matters.
