do something about them

Sep 5, 2012

When I hear someone talk about their dreams and yet do nothing — NOTHING — to make them come true it drives me insane. Want to be self-sufficent with a job you love? Do what it takes to GET it. Read more. Learn more. Put in the time it takes (education or training or whatever it takes) to make it happen. You can laugh about folks who dream of winning the lottery yet don’t buy a ticket — but when you dedicate a baseball-sized portion of your brain to dreaming a dream but do nothing to make it a reality…. isn’t that the same thing?

“She believed in dreams, all right, but she also believed in doing something about them. When Prince Charming didn’t come along, she went over to the palace and got him.”
– Walt Disney on Cinderella
