How to Be Like Walt Quotes

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we are curious—and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” WALT DISNEY

Walt was a dreamer, but one who pursued his goals with clarity and an almost ferocious intensity.” JACK KINNEY DISNEY ANIMATOR

Accept the pain of the past. Learn the lessons of the past. Embrace the nostalgic memories of the past. Then dream big dreams of the future and start chasing them!

Dream big dreams, and pursue those dreams with courage, optimism and perseverance. Commit yourself to making the world a better place.

All you have to do is own up to your ignorance honestly, and you will find people who are eager to fill your head with information.” WALT DISNEY

Walt’s grandson, Walter Disney Miller, told me, “EPCOT was my grandfather’s biggest dream—the city of the future that would point the way to a better world. His dream remains unbuilt.

Just watch Snow White. Just visit Disneyland or Walt Disney World in Florida—he was laying the plans for the Florida park while he was on his death bed. People kept telling him his dreams were impossible. Walt knew better. He had wished upon a star.

Instead of getting mad or getting even, get creative.

Successful people are those who have learned how to learn. Whether college-educated or self-educated, successful people depend on themselves, not others, for their own knowledge, skills, and wisdom. People who are committed to life-long learning have everything they need to shape their own.

The difference between today and tomorrow is some thing called change. It takes courage to embrace the future, because the future is about change, and change brings uncertainty and anxiety. We fear change; we prefer the comfort of the familiar. But change is inevitable. If we do not become future-focused, we are doomed to obsolescence when tomorrow arrives.

And what is a futurist? Not a fortune-teller or a soothsayer, not a reader of tea leaves or crystal balls. A futurist is a planner and a doer. Futurists look at trends and innovation. They look for patterns of change. Then they act. Futurists don't just predict the future. They make the future happen.

Mickey was not merely the right idea at the right time; he was the creative solution to a crisis in Walt's life.

Creativity is not so much an ability as a state of awareness.

All people are essentially creative because we are all made in the image of a creative God. Creativity is our birthright; imagination is the essence of our being. Only when we are dreaming big dreams are we truly fulfilling our God-given purpose in life.
