2024 Beyond the Sky’s Limits 1, Dreams

The best way to predict the future is to create it. — credited to Abraham Lincoln * For decades, I’ve collected uplifting, motivating quotes. In 2019, Succeed and Soar allowed me to share them, illustrated with evocative images. The theme for the first of this “Beyond the Sky’s Limits” series is Dreams. As a Disney commercial sings, “A dream is a wish your heart makes.” Many believe our hearts can be our best guides. Photographs from my “SkyScapes Gallery” accompany this series. Here are quotes about dreams I’ve cherished for years, * Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. — James Allen All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. — T. E. Lawrence Hope is a waking dream. — Aristotle If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember this whole thing was started by a mouse. — Walt Disney The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. — Sarah Ban Breathnach Succeed and Soar! COMMENT.
