Haruki MurakamiHave your dream... What you need now more than anything is discipline. Cast off mere words. Words turn into stone. (from Thailand)
About This Quote
Don’t be a dreamer. Have a dream, but what you need now more than anything is discipline. Cast off mere words. Words turn into stone.
The first part of the quote says that if you want your dream to come true, then you need to work hard for it. It’s not enough to say, “I want to be rich,” or “I want people to like me.” You must do the work that will make these dreams come true. Even when you are doing this work, though, don’t think that it is the only thing you need to do.
The real key is learning how to balance what you are doing with who you are becoming. Balance your dreams with your discipline.
