You Don't Need to be a ROCK to Impact

 You Don't Need to be a ROCK to Impact

We all dream to be 'primus inter pares', the first among equals, to be that ROCK that impacts.  Not bad to DREAM BIG because we're all entitled for it.  But besides DREAMING BIG, what if we fall short of our BIG DREAMS ?  Can that awaken us to realize and recognize what are our limits ?  Can we then change the goal posts in the middle of the game ? While we all want to stand out like that big imposing solid rock which can't be overshadowed across the landscape, nothing wrong to shave off our goals.

if our original goals were too grandiose and aggressive, shave off from it those aspects that are not doable but retain the very core of your goals.  While we keep preaching that we should 'aim for the sky', in real life, we gotta ensure that both our feet are very much grounded such that we aim for something we can achieve, not just within our dreams.

This is spot on, to quote: 'WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU YOU CAN'T DO IT, BE THE TREE, NOT THE ROCK'.  This hits the nail on its head.  All it says is that we really DON'T NEED TO BE A ROCK.  We can be in all other forms but the rock and still achieve the goals we plotted to achieve. But again, that's easier said than done.  In school, if you aimed to be a Dean's Lister, you may have realized that you deserve secondary honors.  At work, you might have aimed to be the Vice President but if a 'Nino Bonito' has been groomed for that role, what's wrong if you settle one rung lower ?  If you dreamt of having a supermarket business, why don't you start with a grocery ?  At the end of the day, what matters is that SENSE of ACHIEVEMENT is within grasp rather than just dreaming ?  THINK ABOUT THAT❗❗❗
