Light a fire under your dreams - quotes to inspire you to move forward

Realizing part of my dream at a week long writer's conference summer 2011.


Have you ever dreamed of doing something, but you kept putting it off until a better time? Now may be the time to light a fire under your dreams. Your dream could be something big or small, but you can't get there unless you take the first step.

I came across a book on my bookshelf that I hadn't looked through in awhile. The title is Don't Wait for Your Ship to Come In...Swim Out to Meet it! by John Mason. The following are some quotes from the book that you might find useful.

  • Your struggle may be lasting, but it is not everlasting.
  • Remember: It's not what you have, it's what you do with what you have that makes all the difference.
  • Gain control of your time and you will gain control of your life.
  • It is always better to fail in doing something than to excel in doing nothing.
  • The person who really wants to do something finds a way, the other finds an excuse.
  • A person is never what he ought to be until he is doing what he ought to be doing.
  • When we do what we can, God will do what we can't.

What will you do to ignite a fire under your dreams?
