The first step is to say that you can.
Starting new things and having dreams are always something great to do. Whether it's just learning to play an instrument or climbing one of the most famous mountains in the world, you can get there. Remembering why you started this certain hobby, this certain thing will help you to not quit and to follow your dream. I have never heard anyone who has got to the top say that it was easy. Of course it would be hard at first but once you get on that wagon with the fire burning inside of you it starts to become more and more easy.
This is just a thought that I have had recently because of this blog. I started it because I wanted something to do. I wanted to have somewhere I can say anything, post anything and maybe help anyone who reads this blog. But obviously, as it got on I started to hardly post as often and started to think maybe I was doing something wrong just because I could not think of many blog posts to do that people would be interested in. But as I thought of how much I love blogging and why I wanted to start, seeing how amazing other bloggers have become and how much they help people made me think that I shouldn't stop. Even if it does not get far during the time that this blog is alive and thriving, I will hopefully at least help one person in their life and my goal would be complete.
I once had a women who climbed one of the biggest mountains in the world come into our school for a talk about the future and dreams. She was one of the most in inspirational women I have had a talk from and she said so much. She talked about how hard the training was, the diet, challenges she had to face while climbing the mountain but she never stop. I found that face so fascinating because she wanted to get to the top so bad no matter how hard it was going to be. Giving her the feeling of accomplishment which I love.
If you want to travel the world, do it before it's too late. If you want to write a book, write it. If you want to get that job you have always wanted. Work hard and achieve it. Don't sit around regretting anything because you may not enjoy life as much if you do. Time is too valuable so I say do it. Remember why you wanted to do it, start it and even if it is not so easy as you thought remember why you started because it will get easier and in the end you will be so proud of yourself. That is you being yourself and doing something you love to do.
Once you remember why you started, you will remember why you cannot quit.

All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them.
