Quote
“You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.”
A psychologist's note: why this works
Phelps ties the dream to action: without a plan and work behind it, a dream becomes a source of anxiety rather than energy. A big goal only motivates once it is broken down into daily steps.
The technique is to bring the big goal down to today's session: what exactly will I do now that moves me closer. The enormous task then stops being frightening and becomes a route.
