They tell you: Follow your dreams. Listen to your spirit. Change the world. Make your mark. Find your inner voice and make it sing. Embrace failure. Dream. Dream and dream big. As a matter of fact, dream and don’t stop dreaming until your dream comes true. I think that’s crap. I think a lot of people dream. And while they are busy dreaming, the really happy people, the really successful people, the really interesting, powerful, engaged people? Are busy doing. Shonda Rhimes
About This Quote

I think a lot of people dream. And while they are busy dreaming, the really happy people, the really successful people, the really interesting, powerful, engaged people are busy doing. They are sitting on some beach somewhere on some exotic island. Or they are at some bar somewhere in some far away country drinking beers and shooting the shit with friends.

Or they are at home with their family cooking dinner and laughing at the antics of their children. They are doing whatever they need to do to make their lives as happy as it can be. Sure they dream but I believe that most of them also know that dreaming is important, but dreaming is not enough to make you happy or successful.
