Joan Lunden Quotes

If you don't live your life, then who will?

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.

I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams wholeheartedly, you become free.

The idea that you have to pursue greatness... it's up to you; it's your life.

You have a responsibility to move your dreams forward, no matter what.

Either you let your life slip away by not doing the things you want to do, or you get up and do them.

Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?

There is so much I want to do in this world, and you only live this one life, and it goes by so fast.

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.

You can never be upset with the people who forced you into your dream or up higher.

Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams.

Life is going by, and if you don't do something about your dreams and make them a reality and start to love who you are as yourself, then you will not be able to embrace any of those dreams. Who you are is the immense magic.

You must go after your wish. As soon as you start to pursue a dream, your life wakes up and everything has meaning.

If you don't follow your dream, who will?

I was concerned about filling my life up with something important to me. To me, it was just necessary.

When I give speeches at college, I don't tell stories, I talk about what it is to live your dreams and take the path less traveled.

But for each of us, isn't life about determining your own finish line?

I encourage everyone to become their dream. Most young people get sidetracked and never end up doing what they really set out to do.

If you're the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you've gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure.
