More quotes by Barbara Sher
There is always a realistic way to fulfill any dream. There has never been a dream that you can't have - at least, not the heart of it, not the part you love the most.

Action helps you think and raises your self-esteem. Good luck happens when you're in action. Ask yourself, Does this go toward or away from what I want? There's an animal in us, and it has great instincts. Scan for a desire and follow it. Set a goal, any goal, and start doing everything you can think of to achieve it.

What you're really supposed to be doing is whatever makes your heart sing.

Every time you worry that you could get trapped in some kind of work you don't care about, you're dealing with the problem of meaningfulness. I guarantee that in the back of your mind is the thought that somehow you have to make a contribution to something, be acknowledged, do something that matters-or you're just fooling around.

You don't have to get it right the first time.
Barbara Sher
When you start using senses you've neglected, your reward is to see the world with completely fresh eyes.
Barbara Sher
Every single one of us can do things that no one else can do can love things that no one else can love. We are like violins. We can be used for doorstops, or we can make music.
Barbara Sher
Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren't.
Barbara Sher
Find out what you love. Do it because you love it. Stick with it. Start now.
Barbara Sher
A direct statement about yourself is considered objective only if it is negative. If it's positive, it is considered subjective. And 'objective' means it is accurate, and 'subjective' means it is conceited self-delusion.
Barbara Sher
Originality is genius. If you respect and care for it, it will take you on the ride of your life.
Barbara Sher
Isolation is a dream killer.
