What Ideas Must Become

ByMatthew

Ideas must work through the brains and the arms of good and brave men, or they are no better than dreams. – Emerson

Ideas are nothing, really, without action.

I would put a slightly different twist on Emerson’s words by saying ideas not worked through the minds, hearts and bodies of men are mere fantasies.

Dreams are meant to become reality.

Dreams are like the blueprints for a building. But without the right materials and intelligent labor, they are mere fantasies about buildings.

So, dream. Dream big and small and take action on your dreams: make them real.

  1. Appreciate your distinction between a dream and a fantasy. Yes, dreams DO come true when passion is married with inspired action. Fantasy? That’s an enjoyable, yet unattainable, wish.
