Follow Your Dreams
[00:09.70]To accomplish great things, 
[00:13.28]you must dream great dreams. 
[00:16.19]But dreaming alone isn't enough; 
[00:18.82]you must believe in your dreams and you must act. 
[00:23.16]Without action, 
[00:24.60]even the grandest dream would evaporate into the ether 
[00:29.12]when left unnurtured in the misty realms of the mind.
[00:33.49]Do you dare to be a dreamer? 
[00:35.80]Prepare to go it alone. 
[00:37.79]Dreamers build bridges 
[00:40.51]between the known and the unknown. 
[00:42.68]As you dance your dreams into reality, 
[00:46.14]those who can't hear the music may think you a fool. 
[00:50.22]Pay no heed to those who would kill your dreams. 
[00:54.19]Small minds always do that. 
[00:56.48]Great minds will encourage you 
[00:59.30]that you can become great too.
[01:01.79]Afraid you haven't got what it takes? 
[01:04.90]Then get it! 
[01:06.27]Feed your mind the mental food it hungers for.
[01:09.66]There was a dog breeder 
[01:12.22]who had two dogs that raced every weekend. 
[01:15.64]He took bets and always won. 
[01:18.52]One week he'd bet on his black dog, 
[01:21.55]and the black dog would win. 
[01:23.66]The next week he'd bet on the white dog, 
[01:26.62]and folks seeing the black dog win the week 
[01:29.88]before would bet, 
[01:31.83]but this time the white dog would win. 
[01:34.44]Why? 
[01:35.81]One week he'd feed the dog he wanted 
[01:38.97]to win a grand diet, 
[01:40.90]and just give the other dog enough to survive. 
[01:44.60]The dog that was well-fed was stronger 
[01:46.97]and would always win the race. 
[01:49.35]Your mind is the same way; 
[01:51.83]it grows stronger or weaker with what you feed it. 
[01:55.73]The diet of the mind is what gives you 
[01:59.03]the confidence, courage, knowledge, 
[02:02.17]and the direction you need to succeed in your dreams.
[02:06.38]You can build your mind up or tear it down. 
[02:09.98]The choice is yours and you make it every day.
[02:14.28]Have you been waiting for the right time 
[02:17.02]to reach for your dreams? 
[02:18.71]Have you been waiting for the right circumstances 
[02:21.80]to reach for your dreams? 
[02:23.34]Have you been waiting for the right opportunity 
[02:26.20]to reach your dreams? 
[02:27.81]You're patient, aren't you? 
[02:29.81]You could be waiting forever, you know. 
[02:32.88]Time is an illusion. 
[02:35.03]Circumstances are what you make them.
