An aspiration is a dream you are actually attempting to achieve. I would say 99.9% of people never even attempt to achieve their dreams, or are even quite sure what it is they would want. Goals (the measurable ones, anyway) usually won't happen unless you have a clear plan about what steps are required and actually putting in the work to get there. Then there is determination, not quitting when things don't go as planned.
I think I'm kind of afraid of actually going after my dreams both because of fear of failure as well as feeling as though "dreaming big" will make it seem like I think I'm superior to everyone around me. Which is ridiculous.
