Stuff Your Eyes with Wonder

"Stuff your eyes with wonder,' he said, 'live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories..." -Granger, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

A hilarious yet inspirational speech made by Steve Carrel as Barry in Dinner for Schmucks, this is a silent and clever reproduction of his taxidermied mice dioramas and the "Tower of Dreamers" twisted into a wonderful internet delicacy by Dance Mad Agony on tumblr. Thanks DMA for making this and sharing it with the online community!

The Meaning of Life

Perhaps you have seen those little gift books, the type you find in the queue at Borders or Hallmark, with little clever anecdotes or quotes about big-picture-type things, like sisterhood, mothers, teachers, golfing as a lifestyle... or the meaning of life. A good friend of mine suggested I borrow one that someone close to her had given her, and I read it with increasing happiness. I am hardly exaggerating when I say that each line was full of wisdom and inspiration. Please read the following exerpt once or twice and really let it sink in...

"It's incredibly draining to live through the day doing something you really don't enjoy or even care about. But if you follow your dreams, at least you will exhaust yourself doing what you love most...But best of all, ...you will inspire someone to go after their dreams, and that, my friend, is how you change the world!" -Bradley Trevor Greive, The Meaning of Life

Suze Orman on Dreams

Suze Orman was on PBS last night, giving a lecture, as well as involving the audience in a Q & A; various priceless points were made. (Who says there is no such thing as educational television?!) She was promoting her new book, The Money Class, and she talked about many of the things she goes into much greater detail in the publication, which all revolve around the American Dream.

Go to her website and watch the video about The Money Class. You will see how she plans to aid those who read her new book in creating their New American Dream out of the old and dead American Dream...

"We need to live in our truth. That's what dreams are made of."
-The Money Class, Suze Orman

Sound advice from Mark Twain

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did do. So throw off the bowliness. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

-Mark Twain

From the University of North Dakota

"The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way."



Robert Kiyosaki

...The World Will Live as One

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.  I hope someday you will join us, and the world will live as one.  -John Lennon

Keep Though Thy Dreams!

Keep though Thy dreams! The tissue of all wings is woven first of them. 
Dreams are such precious and imperishable things. -Anon

"Dream a Little Dream of Me" by She & Him

For those in Chicago who were able to catch She & Him perform for free this evening, here is a small encore. For all others who missed out, watch this pale substitution. A rendition of the popular song, made famous by various musical talents, notably "Mama" Cass Elliot and Ella Fitzgerald. This is "Dream a Little Dream of Me" as performed by Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, otherwise known as She & Him:

Go Confidently

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." -Henry David Thoreau

The Meaning of Life

It's incredibly draining to live through the day doing something you really don't enjoy or even care about.  But if you follow your dreams, at least you will exhaust yourself doing what you love most. Now, you may not think that this will measure up to much in the global scheme of things. But believe me it does. When you get the most out of your life, savoring every last drop, it will transform everything about you from ordinary to extraordinary. When you do what you love, you can pull back the bed sheets every morning feeling excited about beginning another day, and you'll be filled with a heartfelt joy that is highly contagious... But best of all, ...you will inspire someone to go after their dreams, and that, my friend, is how you change the world! -Bradley Trevor Greive, The Meaning of Life

Yesterday is a Dream; Sanskrit Proverb

"Yesterday is a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore to this day." -Sanskrit Proverb

Being Alive = Infinite Potential

"You're alive, Bod. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change. Potential. Once you're dead, it's gone. Over. You've made what you've made, dreamed your dream, written your name. You may be buried here, you may even walk. But that potential is finished." -Silas, The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman

Whatever you can do, or dream you can...

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic, and power in it. Begin it now." -Goethe
