Your ideals can provide you with a source of inspiration today when you are unsure as to how best to proceed. While you likely see the value in setting realistic goals, your true aspirations may involve sweeping inward change or even worldwide transformation. Consider that your grandest ambitions can still serve as the motivation you need to begin tackling your objectives today. If, before moving forward, you assess your larger aims, you may find that these can be portioned out into smaller, more manageable goals. In this way, you can embark upon a journey of massive accomplishment without becoming overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task before you.

The bigger and grander the dreams we nurture, the more likely it is that we will devote ourselves to an extremely ambitious path of goal realization. Our small aims typically result in small gains because we have nothing to motivate us to go above and beyond the call of duty. When it is our intention to change the world for the better through our actions, we must conceive of dreams that are as big as the world itself. Hope thrives on ambition because our individual paths are clearer when we have a strong idea of what we hope to achieve. We may approach these aspirations in small steps, but each of our small steps come together to make a larger accomplishment that is capable of moving mountains. Your idealistic attitude will inspire you to pursue greatness today by motivating you to take action.
