About This Quote

We all have dreams – for our families, for our careers, and even for our own selves. We might want to be a movie star or a rockstar, but there are certain boundaries that we must set on those dreams. In order for us to stay grounded, we must make sure that our mind cannot be tied down. We must make sure that those dreams will not diminish.
