There is no limit to how far you can succeed in life, but it only has its base in the heart - and that is why it has been said over and again that the rate or level of your success is only mind-limited. What you see around as achievements were once fragments of imagination borne out from the heart within.
Almost everyone has a dream, but why do some of them not see the light of the day? The thing is; the dreams you don't believe in cannot be realized. But as it were, dreams do not just get fulfilled on their own, there should be a "believing" first, then actions should be taken to get them fulfilled.
Here's how it goes: Your dreams fashion your thoughts (which also influence your belief), your thoughts dictate your actions, which places you on the path to success. But more importantly; even if the right actions are taken, these actions must be taken in the right direction, and also at the right time.
Good-timing is one of the pivots upon which success hinges on. Maybe this would give you an insight: Here in this part of the world, there is a certain age limit to enter the National Defence Academy. Assuming you've always dreamt of becoming a soldier, but you refuse to move with prompt actions, after the stipulated age has passed, it would be a "no no" from the National Defence Academy. So you see, there's a time-tag to every set dream.
But in setting dream, set something that can be realized. Placing yourself between the "devil-and-the-ocean" kind of target would only turn your dreams into "mission impossible". the first encouragement you need is the one you give yourself.
We've always been advised to aim for the skies, but the truth is; you need to make the move from where you are - don't wait for the full support before you make that move, make do with anything you have at hand, and what you need would definitely meet you along the path to greatness.
