Weekly Words of Wisdom with Arian Foster Friday, Sept. 17:
Dreams are commonly associated with the intangible. This is false. Our thoughts mold our reality, positively and negatively. We are far too often so in awe of the next mans mirror that we lose sight of our own reflection. Others CAN be inspiring, only if you respect the journey and dont envy the peak of the conquest. Greatness is a conscious decision. Focus is as powerful as you can imagine it to be.
Check back for another installment next Friday. Let Arian know what you think in the comments section below or on Twitter @ArianFoster.
