Decide your Direction.

Dedicate your heart.

Determine your Destiny.

Desire your Dreams.

Walt Disney once said: “If you can Dream it, you can Do it. “

This was a man who at one time couldn’t even get hired as an ambulance driver, let alone an artist. He was fired from a cartoonist position in Kansas City. Then he started a company which created, then sold an improved method of making cartoons to a company which then quit making payments for the technology- resulting in Walt filing bankruptcy.

He lost one of his first “characters” because of the small print in a contract which again put him and his business ‘in the red”. Out of this loss, however, he created Mickie Mouse, (first named Mortimer mouse.) Mickie mouse emerged in the movie Steamboat Willie and Walt Disney’s luck took a definite turn. After these failed business attempts , he found the way to create his dreams

He went on to became a Multiple Academy Award-winning American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Wow. Along with his brother, Roy O. Disney, he created Walt Disney Productions and became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion. (Wikepedia)

WOW!

Now THAT is a Dream come true!!!!

Michael Phelps once said during an interview after his Olympic wins “Everything is possible if you dream. My coach helped me to dream big. …..He told me to dream as big as you can.”

He should know.

He now holds the record for the single most gold medals ever won in One Olympics in the history of the Olympics. All of this from a boy who at the age of seven refused to even put his face in the pool!!

Victor Hugo, 1802-1885, French Poet/Dramatist/Novelist put it like this

“There is nothing like a dream to create the future”.

Dream Dream Dream…and then dream some more.

The great American poet, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, philosopher, and leading transcendentalist (Whew!!! How would you like to have all of those on your resume???) Henry David Thoreau is known for this great quote: “Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”

Keep building those castles in the air.

Press forward .

Build strong foundations based on great principles of Honesty , Integrity and Compassion.
