Pursue one great decisive aim with force and determination.
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
'The Impossible Dream' is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever written. Here is a man, an old man, a very old man full of daring, bravery, courage, determination, romanticism and dreams.

As your will is, so is your deed.
As your deed is, so is your destiny."

God gives every bird a worm, but he does not throw it into the nest.

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.
Give the world the best you have, and the best will come to you.
Determination is the wake-up call to the human will.
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
The longer I live, the more I am certain that the great difference between the great and the insignificant, its energy - invincible determination - a purpose once fixed, and then death or victory.
A leader, once convinced that a particular course of action is the right one, must be undaunted when the going gets tough.

Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan.
