    “If the Egyptians had so capably built their temples and pyramids without the benefit of modern architectural tools, then I, the daughter of this great civilization, must be capable of more than I knew. We all are. Anything we can conceive of can be built. Perhaps not through our efforts alone, but also by the generations of dreamers whose feet will rest on our shoulders.”

    Alicia Keys, More Myself (Page 105)

    C. S. Lewis Quote on How You Are Never Too Old To Give Direction To Your Life

      “You are never too old to set a new goal or to dream a new dream.”

      C. S. Lewis

      Beyond the Quote (Day 376)

      I might even take it one step further and say it is precisely when you stop setting goals and dreaming new dreams that you become old. Goals and dreams give direction. Direction gives reason and purpose for movement; progress; growth. Without direction, you become directionless; stagnant; immobile. Movement is the essence of life. Stagnation is the essence of death.

        “Great people have a vision of their lives that they practice emulating each and every day. They go to work on their lives, not just in their lives. Their lives are spent living out the vision they have of their future, in the present. They compare what they’ve done with what they intended to do. And where there’s a disparity between the two, they don’t wait very long to make up the difference.”

        Michael Gerber, The E-Myth Revisited (Page 139)

          “You must determine where you are going in your life, because you cannot get there unless you move in that direction.  Random wandering will not move you forward.  It will instead disappoint and frustrate you and make you anxious and unhappy and hard to get along with (and then resentful, and then vengeful, and then worse).”

          Jordan Peterson, 12 Rules for Life (Page 282) (Read Matt’s Blog on this quote)

            “No matter the task at hand, there is always opportunity for self-doubt.  Whenever you decide to follow a dream or set a goal, you are just as likely to come up with all the reasons why the likelihood of success is low.  Blame it on the f*cked-up evolutionary wiring of the human mind.  But you don’t have to let your doubt into the cockpit!  You can tolerate doubt as a backseat driver, but if you put doubt in the pilot’s seat, defeat is guaranteed.” ~ David Goggins, Can’t Hurt Me

              “Great dreamers’ dreams are never fulfilled, they are always transcended.” ~ Alfred Lord Whitehead

                “I have come to believe that coming true is not the only purpose of a dream. Its most important purpose is to get us in touch with where dreams come from, where passion comes from, where happiness comes from.” ~ Lisa Bu

                  “Faith is daring to put your dream to the test. It is better to try to do something and fail than to try to do nothing and succeed.” ~ Robert H. Schuller

                    “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” ~ Martin Luther King

                      “It is true of the Nation, as of the individual, that the greatest doer must also be a great dreamer.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt

                        “To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of the human mind.
                        To do anything that you want to do, that is the strength of the human will.
                        To trust yourself, to test your limits, that is the courage to succeed.”

                        ~ Bernard Edmonds

                          “In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.” ~ Luigi Pirandello

                            “If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you dream it, you can become it.” ~ William Arthur Ward

                              “Don’t let anyone ruin your dream, or say you are never going to make it, because you know you will climb the ladder and be sucessful.” ~ Chidinma Onuoha
