Watch a movie about someone following their dreams, and the conventional narrative formula will lead you to believe that, after one or two hiccups and a couple of hours, you’ll achieve everything you’ve ever wanted. The real world operates somewhat differently; for some people, this dream path may pan out, but for most of us, the road to our dreams is long, challenging, and unexpected.
Of course, none of this means that the struggle isn’t worth it—in fact, the experience of pursuing your dreams is often more rewarding and more enlightening than the dream achievement itself.
In trying to put the pursuit of dreams into perspective, below is a list of insightful, inspiring, and in some cases, amusing quotes:
