I've been driven all my life by a spirit of adventure and a criminal level of optimism. i believed in my dreams because they were my only option. the people who make it to the top are addicted to their calling. you have to honor the gift god has given you. the people who get the call are the ones who'd be doing whatever it is they love, even if they weren't being paid.
