I think I was about 13 years old when I developed my plan. I decided then that I would earn a living as a musician playing on records and touring the world. That was it. You’ve just read the extent and depth of my plan. What’s cool is that I ended up doing exactly that! I earned a living playing records and toured the world (some of it…).

Why do I say I failed? Because I wanted to do far more, bigger and better things. But there was one major problem: I didn’t make a plan for those things. I didn’t plan big enough.

I encourage you to plan big:

1. I believe passionately that everyone has a purpose for who they are, what they believe and what they’re capable of doing. I am also grieved believe most will fall very short of living out these purposes. Please don’t do that. If you have a big dream, go dream it, but don’t stop there. Work towards your dream like your life needs it to happen – because it does. And if you don’t reach it completely, you will have still moved yourself forward.
2. Most people will fall very short of living out their purposes because they don’t believe. They either lack faith in themselves or they lack faith in the world and people around them. Work towards your dream to show them what’s possible. Again, if you don’t reach it completely, you will have still shown them how to move forward.
3. You may reach it completely.

Best of luck and God Bless
