This book is a collection of thoughts and words that focus or refocus our goals and increase our confidence in order to pursue these goals and keep our enthusiasm and energy flowing as we continue on our journey towards achieving our goals and dreaming. Pursuing a dream is hard work, but the right words, offered at the right time from people who have lived the experience, may be all we need. They are words that say to you, “I did it, and you can do it too.” There are hundreds of eloquent sayings, reflections, and ideas here, taken from philosophers, artists, social activists, musicians, poets, scientists, sports heroes, and comedians, to ignite our enthusiasm, rid us of self-doubt, and inspire us with confidence.
