It's something they feel compelled to do. I'm all for people pursuing their dream, but the sad truth is that the dirty work has to get done too. Sometimes you have to balance a "paycheck" job with your higher calling... even Einstein worked as a patent clerk.

I love how you end the post thinking about how our fear of greatness plays a role in our shrinking back. I think that so often we become accustomed to our lesser self, the one who is fearful and does not dream that to leave it behind and DREAM BIG seems like lunacy (or at least we convince ourselves of that). What we don't realize is that our life depends on that dreaming. Thanks again for another well written article. Katie Jonathan,
