Achieving Dreams Quotes

Sometimes the novel is not ready to be written because you haven't met the inspiration for your main character yet. Sometimes you need two more years of life experience before you can make your masterpiece into something that will feel real and true and raw to other people. Sometimes you're not falling in love because whatever you need to know about yourself is only knowable through solitude. Sometimes you haven't met your next collaborator. Sometimes your sadness encircles you because, one day, it will be the opus upon which you build your life.We all know this: Our experience cannot always be manipulated. Yet, we don't act as though we know this truth. We try so hard to manipulate and control our lives, to make creativity into a game to win, to shortcut success because others say they have, to process emotions and uncertainty as if these are linear journeys.You don't get to game the system of your life. You just don't. You don't get to control every outcome and aspect as a way to never give in to the uncertainty and unpredictability of something that's beyond what you understand. It's the basis of presence: to show up as you are in this moment and let that be enough.

Jamie Varon

If you want to be a good parent then be a great leader. You should live a life with passion for someone and something. The legacy you leave your children shouldn't be how you suffered in gratitude for a life you had no passion for. Rather, it should be how grateful you are to a God that believes fairytales can come true because they came true for you.

Shannon L. Alder

Conceive, believe and achieve.

One of the best kinds of thrill is defining, honoring, and achieving our goals.

Gina Greenlee

You can rise above any situation and achieve your dreams.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Falling has become far more terrifying to me than rising.

Chris Murray

Until you take the first step forward, failure remains reassuringly impossible.

Chris Murray

No one can mock your meagre achievements or inability to accomplish the simplest of tasks, if they remain figments of your imagination. You can revel, again and again, in the glory of a fairy tale doomed never to appear in reality.

Chris Murray

As soon as I can find the courage to put my plans to action, I will turn from being a “maybe man” into someone whose future success lies completely in his own hands.

Chris Murray

Don't allow your imagination to colour events as lesser men would, and see movement in motionless things.

Chris Murray

All these ships are currently safe at anchor but that is not what they were designed for is it? Your job is not to remain anchored and safe. Your job is to move closer to your destination at every attempt.

Chris Murray

When things get tough, remember this mariner’s star. Bring to mind that everything external is designed as a challenge. A test sent to ensure you are actually worthy of acquiring your goal and reward. Recognise them as such and you will always find a way to go through, go round, or ignore them as required.

Chris Murray

Sometime in the future, when business slumps and there appears to be no solution in sight, you will hear others moaning about and blaming the things that are completely out of their control, wasting hour after hour on elements, which cannot be changed. Meanwhile, you, my boy, you will be focusing your efforts on the only thing that matters. The response which ensures you reach your destination.

Chris Murray

You see continuous movement is the important thing here. Those who remain in one position and then lie to themselves about their progress are the ones in real trouble.

Chris Murray

You may have an overall target to achieve with each prospect, but if you are going to have an ideal outcome for each call, should you not also have a tolerable outcome to fall back on? Something you are willing to put up with if things don't go completely to plan, but something that still moves things forward ever so slightly?

Chris Murray

Currently, you are approaching each opportunity with a single possible outcome and when that doesn't happen you fool yourself that there was nothing more that you could have done.

Chris Murray

The future is a fabulous place to bury your success.

Chris Murray

Ready? No one is ever ready, my boy. But some do what they plan to do and some never will. The difference between the two is that the first group understand that they need to start somewhere, so they do so. Straight away

Chris Murray

And by making that plan you have differentiated yourself from more than ninety percent of the population. You are one of the few, who has a clear direction, a decisive plan of action.

Chris Murray

You can’t plough a field by turning it over in your mind. Either you get out there and plough it or it doesn’t get done.

Chris Murray

Plans are easy to make, dreams are easy to dream. But putting your back into it? A little bit of hard graft and discipline? That is just too scary and far too much effort for the masses

Chris Murray

The only time you have is the where and when of right now. There will always be good times, bad times, hard times, and complete disasters. However, there is no other option but to be where you are, when you are. That is a universal truth for everyone. The important thing is how you respond, what you decide to do, and when you decide to do it.

Chris Murray

It has nothing to do with the time being right or wrong. Storms just happen.

Chris Murray

A gentleman of ambition is aware of the people he wishes to be associated with both socially and commercially. He knows that moving through different levels of society is akin to stepping through different rooms in an enormous house, each door leading to a grander environment than the last. He may, of course, settle for the comfort of any room he reaches. Alternatively, he may continue through successive doors to surround himself with even greater fineries and riches.

Chris Murray

And so it must be with the energy you muster for your own work. Get out there and convert the unconverted. Save them all from the charlatans and the nearly-men.

Chris Murray

Understand why you are different and how you help, recognise your target market, and give them something they might not even realise they are missing.

Chris Murray

Think upon the numbers I have been sharing with you. Of your competitors, five out of ten will do little more than take their customer's money immorally. A further three out of ten will leave them dissatisfied.

Chris Murray

From today onward, you will learn how to become evangelical about the many ways you help people.

Chris Murray

His belief is so passionate that it fills him with the burning desire to share his fabulous news with anyone who will listen. He is concerned that it is us that might be missing out, not him. His faith in a single road to salvation and paradise is so intense, that it would be ungodly not to share the good news with all those who are not aware.

Chris Murray

This is how you must be. You must become as evangelical about your promised outcome as he is about his. You must believe that you, and you alone, have the solution to your prospects problems. Even if they do not recognise those problems themselves.

Chris Murray

We must design how we wish to be perceived, and then we must work even harder to continuously recreate and re-evaluate that perception.

Chris Murray

Where he comes from, the education he has received, his family history, his wealth, they matter not a jot, but the perception he conveys - that my, boy, is the key. If they believe he belongs - that he is part of the room - then he does, he is. And whichever room he is about to step into, then that is who he must become.

Chris Murray

If you honestly know how you help people, then you should become passionate about sharing it, spread the good news, give everyone a chance to share in the solutions that you can provide.

Chris Murray

You will never change a prospective customer’s mind, my boy. There is a chance that he might make a new decision if enough reliable evidence comes his way, but to do that he has to want to listen - to hear it - and that requires trust and respect.

Chris Murray

Young man, your problem and the reason so many like you fail, is simply because you allow yourself to give up far too early.

Chris Murray

Fascinatingly resilient the tenacity of a child. Not yet conditioned by society to give up when instructed to do so.

Chris Murray

Trust me. In a very short time, you will become sought out by those in your network. Initially for your sound advice, but soon after as a provider of service. Few people seek advice about a subject that doesn’t require a solution.

Chris Murray

Each step of your current journey will take you to new and interesting worlds of opportunity and as every intrepid explorer knows, when one visits strange new lands one must be aware of their customs.

Chris Murray

Perception number one, how you want people to think about you when you arrive and perception number two, how you want them to talk about you once you have left.

Chris Murray

In short, the difference between you and your doctor is that he has a well-designed reputation and you do not.

Chris Murray

If your doctor told you that you needed immediate surgery could you perform it yourself?

Chris Murray

Let your customers and prospects recommend you to each other and let you competition wish they were you. That is our mission.

Chris Murray

Sometimes, if you get too close to a subject you can miss what’s most important.

Chris Murray

You look green, immature. A young boy playing at business, dressing up in the manner in which he believes an actual grown-up would. Your viewpoint of business attire is one of wide-eyed wonder from the nursery door.

Chris Murray

Seeking those elusive individuals is like mining for rare gems. It will take hard work, patience, and a persistent attitude. To find that rich seam of colourful stones, you will have to chip through dirt and rock. You will have to learn how to hold rubble in your hands and see the fortune inside.

Chris Murray

It is your duty to save these prospects from that disappointment. Every potential customer, who misses out on what you have to offer, due to your lack of zeal or passion, every prospect who ends up with an excuse of an alternative from your lacklustre competition, should rest heavy on your conscience.

Chris Murray

Chris Murray

I need a first-class reputation

Chris Murray

In this world there are those who enjoy giving people balloons and there are those who take great pleasure in popping them. And I wish to be remembered as being firmly in the first party.

Chris Murray

How we feel about those we give our business to is of vital importance.

Chris Murray

Who would be willing to put up with less than the desired result, if they could afford to have it done properly?

Chris Murray

The confidence felt, when dealing with genuine reputation, often outweighs the simplicity of price.

Chris Murray

You listen like an amateur and fool yourself into believing it is enough when it is not.

Chris Murray

Sceptics are persuaded by a good reputation, for it is an unspoken statement of proof.
