Opportunity is given to those who dream... Quotes about dreams

Each of us has our own dreams. Moreover, they tend to change over time. We achieve the fulfillment of some ourselves, while others go into oblivion unfulfilled because we begin to dream of something else. And some, in fact, turn out to be not dreams at all, but simply desires to have what we lack at the moment. You can learn about all these contradictions and subtleties by reading our selection of quotes and aphorisms about dreams.

“Dreams are the bright boundaries of our soul” (T. Henry)

Every person dreams of something different. Just as no two people are identical, there are no absolutely identical aspirations and desires. Everyone's goals are different and individual. That's why we are interested in communicating with each other. For the same reason, people can exchange a wealth of personal and sociocultural experiences with each other. The soul always asks for self-expression. A person, especially one who is very poetically inclined, needs to feel the wings behind him, to realize that he can achieve anything he wants.

The power of your dreams, and understand what exactly you really want

the power of intention, or how to realize your dreams
Moreover, it does not require any effort on your part, and anyone can do it at home quite simply and easily.

When you visualize and affirm your goals, you receive very strong instructions about what exactly you want.

It is also important to understand that the intention and energy that you direct to open the channel to visualization and confirmation develops the internal power of concentration, willpower and self-discipline. Which contribute to the active realization of dreams.

One of the benefits of visualization and affirmation is that you can use it anywhere, wherever you are, at any time, without the need for any external tools. All you need is your mind and attitude.

A dream comes true in different ways, sometimes it happens naturally, and sometimes a dream comes true in the most wonderful, unexpected way through new opportunities that begin to appear before you by themselves. And the door to success becomes open for you forever.

At this stage, the main thing is to be ready to enter this door and take advantage of new opportunities.

All these methods should bring you inspiration, increase your self-esteem and motivate you to increase your chances of achieving what you want.

Always set big goals; big goals can help you move in the right direction. Don't waste your time on too many small daily goals.

Actively use visualization and affirmation, this will help you achieve your goal easier and faster.

Your goals may be very different.

For example, it could be something like:

become rich, buy an expensive car, have a big house with a swimming pool, create a very successful business.

I'll draw myself a dream!

How to deal with dreams correctly

The main mistake is to dream for a long time, make up your mind, then finally give up everything, burn your bridges and start implementing it. This is exactly what the story of Alexander looked like, who dreamed of a restaurant for a long time and bet everything on it. Sergei followed the same pattern: he quit to become a writer, and after two years of honest (and fruitless) attempts, he felt himself in an even greater dead end.

A dream, even one that has been with you for ten years, is just a hypothesis. She needs to be checked.

We think that if we fully devote ourselves to our dreams, only then will we have a great life. But as Elizabeth Gilbert so beautifully said in “Big Magic” (M.: Ripol-Classic, 2018), the surest way to kill any dream is to make it pay the bills.

“Every time someone says that they’re quitting their job to write a novel, or that they’ll sell a screenplay at a profit and pay off their debts, I go crazy and think, well, well.” Liz herself maintained parallel sources of income for a long time because “she didn’t want to burden her literary calling and burden it with the responsibility of supporting me financially. There is no shame in working. It’s another shameful thing to scare away your own talent with the demand to support yourself.”

In the “dream-decide-win” approach, the saddest outcome is the realization that you have come to the wrong place, and, as a result, disappointment in yourself and refusal to change in the future. The person seems to be thrown back. That's why it's a losing proposition.

But the “dream-fear-do-nothing” approach is even less good. Again a losing option. Which one is the winning one?

Realize! But wisely. Because any dream - even if it is a false insight or a viral dream - has huge potential and an indication of what exactly you are missing right now.

“There are people who don’t need freedom, although they only talk about it” (B. Verber)

Independence is not just a nice word. Many people strive for it, not fully understanding why they need it. What is important here is not beautiful words, but the essence of the concept. In fact, freedom comes with great responsibility. Not every person can afford it. It is much easier for some to remain in the role of a follower, and there is nothing wrong with that. It is much easier to obey the laws and rules established in society than to try to change something and start life from scratch. Accepting responsibility for what is happening is sometimes so difficult that most people happily refuse it.

Quotes about life and dreams, one way or another, affect the personality as a whole. People have their own ideas, desires, aspirations that they want to translate into reality, to make part of their own reality.

The impossible becomes real

Any dream can be turned into a feasible goal. Even if it seems unrealistic, such as the desire to win an Oscar:

You don’t just want to win an Oscar, but write down every step that can bring you closer to your goal: get into acting, learn a foreign language, keep yourself in shape, go to America, go to castings, etc.

I recently watched a film where one of the characters was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bone cancer; he only regretted what he did not have time to do.

So let's dream. Especially now that we are locked down, when people are dying and even going to the supermarket is dangerous. Perhaps if we all program ourselves for success, we can turn the world upside down again. What remains for us?

The goal is a guiding star that keeps you on course

A dream begins to work when it becomes a goal. Many do not see the difference between these concepts and often use them as synonyms. Let's clear up the confusion.

What distinguishes a goal from a dream?

• Firstly, setting a goal involves achieving a particular result. Some researchers call a goal “the end result toward which a process is deliberately directed.”
• Secondly, achieving this result involves making efforts and performing certain actions. The childish “I want” (well, want, want) characteristic of dreamers changes to “I strive,” or better yet, to “I will achieve.”
• Thirdly, the goal also implies a specific path of implementation. You not only have to know what you want, but also how to achieve it. While you are simply floating in the clouds, there is a wide field of probabilities between you and the object of desire. Goal setting forces you to choose one route and focus on it. The words of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry fit well here: “A goal without a plan is just a dream.”
