“If You Can Dream it, You Can Do It!” – Walt Disney

Walt Disney spent his life “making dreams come true,” for himself and many, many others. Turning “dreams” into reality often takes a lot of hard work and discipline, but it also requires the “desire” to achieve.

Dreams of winning the lottery rarely come true, but most dreams are possible, if brought into the realm of realities.

The first step is to challenge yourself to see if you have what it takes to achieve the dream.  For instance, a young girl may want to become a concert pianist when she grows up. In order to achieve her goal, she must discipline herself to practice regularly and develop her skills. But practice alone won’t assure her dream. She may need a better teacher that is farther from her home, and may have to give up other activities that fill her life. And then she has to determine if she has enough talent to succeed.

But as Mohammad Ali said, “The ‘will’ is more important than the ‘skill.’

So the young girl continues to practice, and travels far for her lessons, and even though she may not be as “talented” as some others she knows, she finds her way to playing in a concert hall.
More talented students may look at her as “lucky,” and wonder why she succeeded while they failed.
