Chasing Stars Underneath the Endless Sky

If we don’t believe in ourselves, who will?

There may be people who believe in us—but they have their own lives to live, their own responsibilities, and bills to pay. They can’t always be there, day in and day out, just to convince us that we can do it. That’s something we have to do for ourselves.

If we want to go anywhere, we must believe in ourselves. It’s the first and most essential step.

As Norman Vincent Peale once said: Shoot for the Moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.

Anything is possible when we believe in ourselves—maybe not always to the exact heights we aim for—but still worth aiming for.

There’s no harm in aiming higher.

In fact, it’s better than not aiming at all and failing before we even start. When we aim high, even if we fall short, we land somewhere meaningful—often beyond what we thought possible.

So maybe we should start setting our sights a few levels above what we think we can achieve—just to give our motivation that extra push towards our crazy beautiful dreams.

Sunset bleeds across my horizon today and shall rise again tomorrow. Another brand-new day for my dreams and hope with endless possibilities.

the golden days
they’re still there
for us to reach
where we still
can live our lives
in so many vibrant ways

the things
we believed in
we dared to dream
aiming so high
chasing stars
underneath
the endless sky

stories of the life
that we are going to write
we conceived magic
in the crazy things
we believed in
while living our lives
through the lows
and unexpected highs

the things
we believed in
we dared to dream
aiming so high
chasing stars
underneath
the endless sky

we will take
our chances
against all odds
believing
in the impossible
believing in
what we have yet to see
and the places
that we’ve never been
we still have faith
in our crazy beautiful dream

the things
we believed in
we dared to dream
aiming so high
chasing stars
underneath
the endless sky

for the things that we believe in
