If you know me at all, the one quote I live by is, "If you aren't afraid of your dreams, they aren't big enough." I am a lover of traveling and I pride myself in the fact that I am a determined individual. I'm a planner, a goal setter, a feeling-of-accomplishment seeker. I crave culture and adventure. I am thirsty for knowledge and I am hungry for new experiences. My plans are big and my dreams are even bigger. I am going places, so where next?

I don't just mean I am physically getting onto a plane and traveling to another country, (even though I strongly advise) I mean mentally, educationally, and personally. The world is far to small to not dream and imagine yourself doing anything you could ever want. Keep looking forward. I don't want to get this confused with the importance of being mindful, because living in the present moment is crucial to happiness. When I say looking froward I mean keep in mind what you want, and take steps in that direction.

Follow your arrow—aim high. There is something special about setting goals and seeing yourself accomplish them, only hungry for bigger and better things. Keep pushing even on the days you feel like you can't, because those are the days you become strong.

I encourage you to shoot for the stars. Don't let your mind put a limit on what you are capable of. Your comfort zone is a beautiful place, yet nothing grows there, a dear friend once told me.

You are going places, so tell me, where next?
