Everybody wants to be special. But what makes people stand out enough to be remembered for generations to come? Whether you're an athlete, an entrepreneur, a politician, a humanitarian, an inventor, or a free thinker; you need to be courageous.

The first step to doing something that seems crazy is to believe it's possible. Everyone has wild dreams and aspirations, whether they choose to admit it or not, and sometimes they might feel intangible. But there's no possible way to achieve what you want if you give up before you even try.

Think about it, no one is ever remembered for playing it safe. There's no guaranteed that you'll succeed at everything you do, but where is the fun in that? You need to be determined and courageous in order to make everything worth it. Wouldn't you rather know that you tried your hardest and did everything you could rather than grow old and wonder about all of the possibilities and know that you were too scared to even try?

Try things that scare you and stick to your guns because it is your life and you know what is best for you. Whenever you fail that means that you are one step closer to succeeding. We all want to be remembered for being good people and for doing great things, but only those of us who are willing to try the impossible are the ones who will be amazing and achieve greatness.

Historical figures are not everyday people who dared to dream, but not to try. They are everyday people who made their dreams come true by working toward them until they go there. If you want to be remembered you have to try and not just want it half-heartedly.

Even the best, most important people in our world have failed, but what separates them from the rest is that they persevered. Being remembered for being extraordinary is not an easy feat and most of us will never reach that level of acclaim. We should also not be focused on living our lives to become famous, yet we should all dare to think outside of the box and shoot for what seems impossible. If you choose to never give up on yourself, that speaks volumes to your character.

"Fight for your dreams and your dreams will fight for you"- Paulo Coehlo
