text: She spoke of dreams. Which is very powerful. You see – dreams are more powerful than goals, despite goal setting being the traditional method for building motivation in humans. They inspire us to new heights. Dreams are our deepest and most dearly held hopes and aspirations. Dreams capture our imagination. Dreams create extraordinary motivation and transformative change. They enable us to live differently.
  The difficulty for most of us is that thinking of our personal and professional goals as dreams seems somehow hokey or silly. It's not. Dreams are a powerful and effective way to motivate you to achieve more. And while some dreams are huge, dreams can be as small as you want: running a 10 km race, sleeping more deeply, being a better student, improving your body, overcoming an illness or learning how to play an amazing piece of music.
  We need something that powers us to do more. You need dreams that can drive you to be better. Dreams give you a flame in your heart that ignites passion. If you think about what athletes look like when they win – exhilarated, thrilled, excited, energized – you will have an image of what the fulfillment of a dream can do for us all. It gives us a chance to live life at a different level.
