Mark Batterson Quotes

Work hard and follow your dreams, but never forget where you came from.

If you can get your head around your dream it means your dream isn't big enough.

God doesn't want us to merely sit around dreaming about things we can do and be. That's a good place to start, but a poor place to stop. God wants us to turn our dreams into action.

The No. 1 thing you should know about me: I've always tried to put God first in my life, and I'm the first to admit I often have failed because I'm too proud and too stubborn.

After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Very often what God first helps us toward is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again. For however important chastity (or courage, or truthfulness, or any other virtue) may be, this process trains us in habits of the soul which are more important still. It cures our illusions about ourselves and teaches us to depend on God. We learn, on the one hand, that we cannot trust ourselves even in our best moments, and, on the other, that we need not despair even in our worst, for our failures are forgiven.

Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.

Never put a lid on God. You can give God a thimble and ask for a quart. It won't work. Your plans, your projects, your dreams have to always be bigger than you, so God has room to operate. I want you to get good ideas, crazy ideas, extravagant ideas. Nothing is too much for The Lord to do - accent on 'The Lord'.

As long as we dare to dream and don't get in the way of ourselves, anything is possible - there's truly no end to where our dreams can take us.

I think that you could be whatever you wanted to be if you could realize all the dreams you have inside.

I'm very grateful and appreciative, and I remind myself every day that there are thousands and thousands of actors that have the same dreams and aspirations that I have.

You can dream big and it doesn't matter what you look like, where you come from.

Never put an age limit on your dreams.

Your ability will grow to match your dreams.

The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.

And I laugh at myself for thinking I could touch the sky.

You don't have to put an age limit on your dreams.

Our greatest dreams are never out of reach, only out of belief.

In order to find God in ourselves, we must stop looking at ourselves, stop checking and verifying ourselves in the mirror of our own futility, and be content to be in Him and to do whatever He wills, according to our limitations, judging our acts not in the light of our own illusions, but in the light of His reality which is all around us in the things and people we live with.

Happiness should always remain a bit incomplete. After all, dreams are boundless.

Im one step ahead of my past, two steps behind my dream.
