These 34 Disney Quotes Will Inspire You To Follow Your Dreams

As one of the greatest, most creative men to walk our planet once said, “Too many people grow up. That’s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don’t remember what it’s like to be 12 years old.” Walt Disney provided countless children with life lessons that they carry with them throughout their lives. Rewatching Disney movies as an adult can bring back precious childhood memories. The directors and writers crafted the lines and scenes with great care and attention, pulling at our heartstrings every time no matter how old or mature we have become.  

When was the last time you watched a Disney movie? They can provide great wisdom and insight on how easy it can be to live a better, more successful life. Below, find quotes from various Disney movies that can inspire you to build your dreams, launch your new product line, or take the leap of faith on working toward your lifelong goals. 

Build Your Dreams

Many lose touch with their dreams and aspirations as they fall into the 9 to 5 cycle upon entering the workforce. Even if those who enter jobs that do not have traditional clock in and clock out times still suffer the same fate – they live to work instead of working to live. Take time to think about these nine quotes and see if they can revive that fire you once head to pursue your dreams: 

    1. “You must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul.” — Ratatouille

    2. “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and – snap! – the job’s a game!” — Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins

    3. “First, think. Second, believe. Third, dream. And finally, dare.” – Walt Disney

    4. “Everything that made that giant tree is already contained inside this tiny little seed. All it needs is some time, a little bit of sunshine and rain, and voilá! Now, you might not feel like you can do much now, but that’s just because, well, you’re not a tree yet. You just have to give yourself some time. You’re still a seed.”  — Flik, A Bug’s Life

    5. “If you can dream it, you can do it.” — Walt Disney

    6. “Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved.” — Pooh, Winnie the Pooh

    7. “It’s up to you how far you go. If you don’t try, you’ll never know!” — Merlin, The Sword In The Stone

    8. “Open different doors. You may find another there you didn’t know was yours. Anything can happen.” — Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins

    9. “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” — Walt Disney

Hard Work Is Required

Anything worth doing requires hard work. You must have past along with drive to continue taking concrete steps each and every day to reach the goals that will allow you to achieve your dream. For some, it may take two months. For others, it may take a lifetime. Regardless of the amount of time it may take, as long as you are doing your best, you will get there. Consider the following eight quotes about hard work:

    1. “The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.” — Tiana, The Princess and The Frog

    2. “The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up.” — Timothy Mouse, Dumbo

    3. “Life’s not a spectator sport. If watchin’ is all you’re gonna do, then you’re gonna watch your life go by without ya.” — Laverne, The Hunchback of Notre Dame

    4. “No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.” — The Emperor, Mulan

    5. “You’re only a fool if you give up.” — Jafar, Aladdin

    6. “I remember daddy told me ‘fairytales can come true’. But you’ve got to make them happen, it all depends on you!” — Tiana, The Princess and The Frog

    8. “Don’t think and don’t worry. When the time comes, you’ll know what to do.”  – Helen Parr, The Incredibles

No One Does it Alone

While dreams may begin with one person, there is no success story that is possible without a strong team. Even if you complete all of the work on your own, you will have had at least one person encouraging you along the way. Without help, dreams will become seemingly impossible and fall to the wayside. Find your team and you will watch your success grow exponentially. These Disney quotes may help paint a better picture:

  1. “You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.” — Walt Disney

  2. “You think the only people who are people, are the people who look and think like you. But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you’ll learn things you never knew you never knew.” — Pocahontas, Pocahontas 

  3. “For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.” — Mowgli, The Jungle Book 

  4. “Of all the things I’ve done, the most vital is coordinating those who work with me and aiming their efforts at a certain goal.” — Walt Disney

You Are Your Biggest Supporter

While a team is necessary, if you do not believe in yourself and encourage yourself daily, you will not achieve the greatest level of success possible. If you do not believe in what you are doing, it will show. Allow yourself to celebrate your achievements and review the mistakes you have made. You must remember to push yourself to be the greatest you can be. From Ratatouille to Cinderella, we have seen this time and time again in Disney movies:

    1. “Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.” — Anton Ego, Ratatouille
    2. “You don’t have time to be timid. You must be bold and daring.” — Lumière, Beauty and the Beast
    3. “Put your faith in what you most believe in.” – Tarzan, Tarzan
    4. “Just because I cannot see it, doesn’t mean I cannot believe it!” – Jack Skellington, The Nightmare Before Christmas
    5. “You just need to believe in yourself.” – Rex, Toy Story 2
    6. “There are those who say fate is something beyond our command. That destiny is not our own, but I know better. Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it.” — Merida, Brave
    7. “Perhaps the greatest risk any of us will ever take is to be seen as we really are.” — Cinderella, Cinderella 

The Past Is In The Past

Sitting in despair and focusing on the problems is normal, but you cannot stay stuck in these feelings. The best thing you can do is learn from your mistakes and apply the lessons you learned. If you can’t move on from your mistakes, you will never see how far you can go! As the old adage goes, “Everything happens for a reason.” See what these Disney characters have to say:

    1. “I never look back, darling! It distracts me from the now.” — Edna Mode, The Incredibles

    2. “Why worry? If you’ve done the very best you can, worrying won’t make it any better.” — Walt Disney

    3. “Sometimes you try your hardest, but things don’t work out the way you want them to.” — Nani Pelekai, Lilo & Stitch

    4. “It’s been my experience, when you hit bottom, the only place left to go is up.” — Dr. Sweet, Atlantis: The Lost Empire

    5. “The moment you doubt you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it.” — Peter Pan, Peter Pan

    6. “It’s no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then.” – Alice, Alice in Wonderland

Disney movies are not just for children. They teach us life lessons from a young age, and they follow up for the rest of our lives Revisiting these movies and quotes allows us to fortify the lessons we learn and put us back on the right track if we begin to falter.

Disney movies and their quotes can help improve confidence throughout life and make you a better leader. Taking time to recognize your dreams and revisit the concrete steps you need to take in order to make your best business decision can be achieved simply by watching your favorite Disney movie or revisiting this list of Disney quotes. 

As Walt Disney once said, “All of our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

What is Quora & Why Is It Important?

by Emily Triplett
written by Emily Triplett

Google and other search engines are wonderful tools users can turn to when they need answers fast. Questions such as “What are the top tips for homeowners in flood zones?”, “Where can I buy a new car near me?”, and “How many seasons are in The Office?” will provide users with the information they need without having to go beyond the first page of results. However, users are not always searching for simple questions. Some of the thoughts crossing their mind may include “What services do digital marketing professionals consider to be the most effective for promoting my business in my local area?”, “Who are the best home contractors for decks and porches?”, and “What is the best social networking site to use for advertising my business?” among many others that relate to personal questions and opinions. Search engines can assist users in finding the answers they desire, but users may be required to do a bit more digging. 

Luckily, users are not required to only use search engines to search for information. Quora is a social networking platform that is built to work like a search engine. Users can follow topics they are interested in, ask questions, and provide answers in their areas of expertise. Launched in 2009, Quora has slowly grown to a network with millions of active users who are looking for expert answers from real people. Businesses who use the platform can attain name and brand recognition. Better still, traffic, leads, and ad revenue can all be garnered from Quora. If you aren’t utilizing their platform, you could be missing out on your next big sale. 

To learn more about what Quora is and why this platform should be on your radar, read on. 

It’s About Questions & Answers

Quora provides its users a platform that facilitates conversations. Unlike other social networking sites, Quora doesn’t focus on pictures and videos. It focuses on user-generated content. There are a wide variety of topics that can be followed, from business ideas to personal thoughts. Users are encouraged to ask questions under topic feeds where anyone can provide their thoughts and solutions. In order to gain popularity, the answers should be accurate and fully cover what was asked. 

When answering questions, there is no hard and fast rule about the length of the response. However, it is imperative to provide enough detail to answer the question fully without using fluff words. Treating the response like a blog post tends to provide the most success. Answers can receive upvotes or downvotes. Upvotes indicate users like the response while downvotes mean users do not agree with the response. The more upvotes users accumulate on all of their responses across the platform, the higher their profile will rank. The higher a profile ranks, the more followers and views a user can expect to receive. Having great responses and a high ranking profile can drive traffic to your website and help you garner leads. 

While answering questions is important, asking questions is necessary to maintain a high ranking profile. Quora is designed to have two-way engagement between its users. While you may be an expert in a subject, you should still ask questions to facilitate conversations with other experts. If Quora notices you answer a lot of questions without asking any questions, your profile may suffer consequences. Along with two-way communication, if you post a viral question, you can drive a large amount of traffic to your site. The questions must be clear and interesting in order to encourage users to provide their thoughts and opinions. 

While establishing yourself as an authority, you can use Quora to effectively learn what your target audience is researching. The questions you see will contain the keywords users correlate with your business, product, and/or service. You can take these keywords and incorporate them into your content marketing strategy in order to reach a larger audience outside the Quora platform. 

Google & Quora

Google and other search engines are used daily to find answers to hundreds of personal and professional questions. Employing SEO strategies on your own website is incredibly important because it allows your website to rank highly in search engine results. When you appear often in results, users will consider you an authority on the subject matter they are researching.

It is not uncommon to see Quora results on search engine results pages. When used correctly, you can have high ranking answers appear on Google. This means you have an opportunity to take advantage of double exposure in search engine results pages. Quora is important because rising in popularity, so you must provide the same time and attention to your answers as you would to the content and blog posts on your own website. 

Simple, Optimized Profiles 

Quora allows users to create a profile that highlights their expertise with a simple design. Other than a profile picture, no other media is available in the profile. A headline field is the perfect space to establish yourself as an authority and capture your readers’ attention. Avoid overuse of the vertical bar, but be sure to use impactful, powerful words. You also have a summary field where you can sell your business. You can add your website, social media handles, and credentials. If you have a powerful testimonial, be sure to include that. Your summary should include keywords that your target audience uses to search for your business.

Your readers will be driven to your profile if you develop strong questions and answers, so be sure to spend the necessary amount of time to create a profile that sells who you are, why you are an expert, and what you can do for them. If you lack strong content in your profile, you may miss out on the increased traffic and leads.

Garner More Traffic and Leads with Quora 

Quora is an important social platform that should be part of your marketing strategy if it isn’t already. The value of the platform lies in the keyword research and blog content ideas available. You can also establish yourself as an authority, which will help you gain name and brand recognition. When people trust you, they are more likely to turn your business. If you provide expert answers, users will be driven to your profile where they can easily access your website. If you are interested in increasing your number of leads, turn to Quora!
