I was thinking about Walt Disney tonight and this song immediately came to mind. There is one thing we all neglect to do when we become grown-up's and that is NURTURE our inner-child. Walt Disney knew this was the secret to eternal youth. I have such great love and respect for Walt Disney! He wanted to create an environment for everyone young and old to dream, fantasize, be creative. A place where we could leave the real World behind and just be!
We can ALL learn something from this great man... He too had a dream and that was Disneyland. No bank would approve his plans to build this great place only he envisioned, they told him his idea would fail and insinuated he was crazy. But that didn't stop him! He and his brother Roy Disney mortgaged their homes to use as capital to begin building this Wonderful place. Thank goodness for his tenacity! Because all of US around the World would not have his inspirational movies to lift us up when we need them or Disneyland to help US re-discover our inner-child.
The moral of this story: If you have a vision, a passion that ONLY you understand... it's okay! Pursue your vision with all your heart. Sure at first people will think you're crazy because you are doing something they just simply do not understand. As long as you are TRUE to yourself and are following YOUR dreams that IS all that matters. The rest of the people will come around eventually. In fact, they will probably think, "why didn't I think of that?" or later after you have become a success they will say, "I always knew you could do it". But that is NOT for you to worry about when you are giving birth to your dreams! I have a plaque in my office that reads, "LIVE YOUR DREAMS". So GO, have at it ;)
Walter Elias Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966)
