There's nothing too wonderful to be true...

"There's nothing too wonderful to be true..."

This line occurs in a wonderful song in a wonderful musical, "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" which I had the great pleasure to see tonight.

If you've seen it, you'll smile when you remember it, if you haven't seen it, you may not want to read the rest of this entry...

The play is very funny and I enjoyed every minute of it, and as I drove home, I was struck by how sweet the quote is and how unrealistic many people think it is.

In fact, it seems most people believe they have to be lucky or dishonest to have the things they consider "too wonderful".

That being the case, I see many very talented people settling rather than apply action consistent and necessary to have the things they think are too wonderful to be true.

I've been told that my dreams are "pipe dreams."

I say, "Nothing is too wonderful to be true" and I'll get it without luck or dishonesty but with the right kind of effort consistent with the end-point I visualize.

How about you?
