“If your dream ain't bigger than you, there's a problem with your dream”
— Deion Sanders
Simplified Meaning:
Having a dream that's bigger than you means aiming for something that feels almost out of reach, something that pushes you to grow and improve. For example, imagine a student who wants to become a scientist. If their dream is just to get a good grade in science class, that’s a small goal. But if they dream of finding a cure for a disease, that’s a big goal. This bigger dream requires them to work harder, learn more, and overcome bigger challenges. When your dream is really big, it motivates you to become better and to do things you never thought you could do. It keeps you excited and passionate because you’re constantly striving towards something amazing. If your dream is small or easy to achieve, it might not inspire you to do your best. So, choose a dream that scares you a little because it's so big. It will help you grow stronger and become more capable.
