“As far as I can tell, every great advance — whether in an individual life or the world at large — has come from dreams and attempts. Devise more dreams. Make more attempts.”
—James Clear, American writer and speaker

Our nugget of wisdom today is a powerful reminder that progress starts with sparks of imagination and committed action.
Every breakthrough, from personal growth to global innovation, begins as a vision in someone’s mind — followed by the courage to try, even in the face of uncertainty.
We all have dreams — big or small — that often stay hidden because we fear failure.
Clear encourages us to not only dream more, but to take the crucial next step: attempt.
When we dare to pursue new ideas and opportunities, we open the door to growth, discovery, and lasting change.
Let’s give ourselves permission to dream boldly, and act bravely!
EXERCISE:
Commit to trying one new thing or taking one bold step toward a goal each week.
Track your attempts, regardless of the outcome, and reflect on what you learned from each experience.
