Achieving a Grand Dream

"You will achieve grand dreams, a day at a time, so set goals for each day—not long and difficult projects, but chores that will take you, step by step, toward your rainbow.

Write them down, if you must, but limit your list so that you won't have to drag today's undone matters into tomorrow. Remember that you cannot build your pyramid in twenty-four hours. Be patient.

Never allow your day to become so cluttered that you neglect your most important goal—to do the best you can, enjoy this day, and rest satisfied with what you have accomplished."

~ Og Mandino (1923 - 1996)

After being a U.S. pilot during World War II, Og Mandino worked as a magazine editor. After publishing The Greatest Salesman in the World in 1968, he became one of the most popular motivational speakers in the United States. Later, he wrote other inspirational books including The Greatest Secret in the World and A Better Way to Live, selling over 30 million books.
