Dream Big

Think About This: "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them."- Walt Disney
"Walt Disney was truly the dreamer of all dreamers, but he was no different than you or me. We're dreamers. I would say we are really big dreamers. He believed enough in his dreams to make sure they became reality. He got out and pursued them. Can you imagine a world without Disneyland? Me neither.
Think about a boat sitting in the harbor. Although it's a safe place to be, is that what it was built to do? Just sit there in the harbor. No, it was made to get out there and see the world, carry its cargo from one place to another to fulfill its purpose. Just like you.
So many people sit and dream and that's as far as they go. They play it safe; afraid of what might be out there if they really accomplished their dream. But there is a price that is paid when we do not fulfill our dreams. We cheat the world out of what could have been. We cheat ourselves out who we could have been. We cheat others whose lives we could have changed.
We make a difference when we pursue our dreams. We change people's lives and our own. We affect the world in a positive way by putting out the energy of doing, of dreaming! We inspire others to do the same. How exciting to think of an empty harbor and a packed ocean.
Be more than a dreamer; be courageous and turn your dreams into reality!"
