The stuff of Dreams

My mentor once asked me "Why you want to be Successful?" And Do you know what i answered? The same thing, that most of us would answer, for instance: i don't want to work anymore; i want to buy a house; i don't want to worry about money - this list actually goes on and on. But after i answered him, he told me to write down on the paper 100 things, "why i should be successful." And so i did it, but at the first time i didn't finish it, because i had only 64 things in my mind, what i did really want.
The truth is, that i didn't understand, why i should be successful anymore, if this was only for me and not for others! After awhile i finished what he asked me to do, but my list didn't go to 100, it went to 674. So how come it went so high?
The thing is, that if you want to be successful only for yourself, then you're a small dreamer. If you want a house or car, you're still a small dreamer. So who's the BIG Dreamer? The dreamer, who sets goals not for only him/herself, but also to others. And this was what i did, i set up my goals and dreams so high, that i got so much inspiration and motivation to achieve most of them. "If you set your goals and dreams towards other people or other things, which are not meant only for you - it's better chance to achieve them, but to set them up, you have to want it; you have to want to help others and maybe help our planet." It really depends on you, whether or not you want it: maybe you just want to be successful, then be it - but non the less you should remember, that your dreams and goals could help others to achieve their ones, and their goals and dreams could help other ones.
And so here's my answer to my own question "How come my goal list went so high?" Because my mentor helped me to look at my goals and dreams in another point of view. He asked "why i should be successful?" But he already knew, that then i would understand, who i wanted to be - i wanted to help others, and so i did it, with my own goals and dreams i helped others to achieve their ones and they helped others...
