Dan Buettner Quotes

True happiness involves the pursuit of worth goals; without dreams, without risks, only a trivial semblance of living can be achieved.

If a man can dream, if a man can have goals, he can be happy and he can be alive. If he has no goals he doesn't even have a future.

Dreams and goals keep us young and interested in life.

I want more from life than that and I have more to give.

But if one had everything one could ever need or want, what was left to dream of?

Comfort kills! If your goal in life is to be comfortable, I guarantee two things. First, you will never be rich. Second, you will never be happy. Happiness doesn't come from living a lukewarm life, always wondering what could have been. Happiness comes as a result of being in our natural state of growth and living up to our fullest potential.

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. To live a fulfilled life, we need to keep creating the "what is next", of our lives. Without dreams and goals there is no living, only merely existing, and that is not why we are here.

If you aren't living your dreams then you're living your fears.

My new question was, What do you do when your dreams come true? My answer was: Find new ones.

You gotta have a dream. If you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true?

To feel fulfilled, you must first have a goal that needs fulfilling. At the same time, it must actually be possible to fulfill said goal.

There is no pressure when you are making a dream come true.

This year I am choosing to live beyond my wildest dreams. I wonder where they'll take me.

I'm about to reach my dreams and I aint even got my arms stretched.

If you don't have a dream in life, I don't know what you have. You have to want something beyond your reach; it's exciting when it works out.

When you get the money, you still need to keep going; you don't stop. There has to be something else. I think it's the freedom to do what you want and to live your dreams.

Merely to exist is not enough.

Without dreams we would be cows in a field, and I don't want to live like that. I live my life or I end my life with this project.

The purpose of life is to live your dreams, you should never smother your wishes.

I want us all to fulfill our greatest potential. To find our calling, and summon the courage to live it.

It is not enough to merely exist. It's not enough to say, 'I'm earning enough to live and support my family. I do my work well. I'm a good parent.' That's all very well. But you must do something more.

Let's start anew. Life is goals - Purpose-Attempts - Struggle-Dreams and Accomplishmenties. It sounds confusing (my fault), but it's actually simple.

Goals may give focus, but dreams give power.

Dare to be what you ought to be, dare to be what you dream to be, dare to be the finest you can be. The more you dare, the surer you will be of gaining just what you dare!

Some people grow into their dreams, instead of out of them.
