Values Quotes – Walt Disney on Dreaming

Todays quote is from Walt Disney, the famous animator, film producer, entrepreneur, and icon behind the Walt Disney Company.

An inspiring quote from Disney is:
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Who better to talk about the value of dreaming than Walt Disney!

As a differentiating value, Dreaming means imaginative thinking; or a state of mind characterized by abstraction.

Now, some might think that the world Disney created is the only place that can claim: “Where Dreams Come True.” Dreaming is something anyone can do, at anytime, and anywhere.

First, you need to allow yourself to dream, which is like finding your happy thought, as described in the story of Peter Pan. Open yourself for imaginative thinking where you’re free to create a world in which everything is exactly as you wish it would be, with just enough happy surprises to keep it interesting.

Then, when you find yourself getting excited about what you can see and feel, take a picture of that image – in high-definition – and post it on your dream board, the place you visit in your heart when you ask the BIG questions, like: “What would I really like accomplish?” or “How can I make a significant impact in the world around me” or “What will be my legacy, after I’m gone?”

Once you have clarity and conviction around the dream – that it’s your dream – then finding the courage to actually pursue it will be easy.

So… what’s your dream?
