Following Your Dreams Quotes

“People don’t know what to do when they encounter someone different. History hides a whole world of talented people we have never known because bright minds surrendered to the advice of small thinkers. “You got a great voice, kid—now go check on the cattle and don’t forget to lock the entrance.” And you spent so much time trying to convince everyone to appreciate some small idea or gift. They won’t know. They will never understand ideas until they happen. They don’t believe in start-ups, but love success stories. They won’t encourage your singing career, but love the radio. We ought to fly away from everyone and everything and right when we’ve launched far enough in space to risk no return, we can then come back to earth as us.”

“We must do because we are here. The universe is a playspace for you to find out cool shit and discover cool people. It’s the purest notion in our hearts, but also the most fragile. Do not lose to cul-de-sacs. Or a small person who says no. Or a large society that points one way. Do not lose to humidity. Or mud. Or boring white walls that say you’re nothing. Don’t fall for the room. It’s not there. Our dreams will never be around us, which is why we have to do the awkward thing of chasing them. It’s bigger than a day job, or even a romance. To be caught up on planetary affairs is to let the wind blow away your existence. You must throw a fishing line at a cloud and climb up the cord. Stay above the soil stompers. They won’t value you, so look away. Planted in you is a self in which the world will fail to see, in which you must make your mission to protect.”

“You know,” he continued reflectively, “there is something very satisfying about making something, creating it, modelling it on your dream and making that dream become a reality. Yes, we all have dreams. That's the easy bit. It's making them come real that's not so easy.”

“♪♫ no one’s gonna play this on the radio ♫♪ Billy Joel So why’s he wasting his time? Because he loves the music, that’s why. And he’s not wasting his time is he? He’s following his dream, doing what he loves. Perhaps if more of us followed our dreams – really followed our own dreams, not someone else’s nutty ideology - the world might be a nicer place to reside in.”

“The more God asks us to participate in His mysteries, the more disoriented we become, because He asks us constantly to follow our dreams and our hearts. And that's difficult to do when we're used to living in a different way. Finally we discover, to our surprise, that God wants us to be happy, because He is the Father.”
