In this article you will know Walt Disney quotesthe creator of Mickey Mouse and the entire Disneyland empire, to encourage you to dream more and achieve everything you set your mind to.
Everything around us was once someone’s dream. From your mobile, to the chair in which you sit. At some point in history, someone said “I am going to make chairs”. And there you are, sitting in what was a dream.
To me that is something incredible. Because our day to day life is conclusive proof that it is worth dreaming and fighting for it… At all times we see that getting what we want is possible.
It is clear that not all dreams are equally big. Wanting to have a chair factory is not the same as building a theme park with visitors from all corners of the world. That is why what Walt Disney achieved seems admirable to me.
Walt Disney’s story has incredible lessons, and in its wake, it also left motivating phrases that invite us to dream and pursue those dreams.
