Eleanor Roosevelt on Dreams



The accurate quote is "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Actually, whether you believe your dreams are beautiful, or freightening, what you believe will determine your vision and your vision will become your reality.

Eleanor Roosevelt was a great woman and humanitarian who inspired millions with her courage and commitment to serve others. I hope you will believe strongly in the beauty of your dreams.

If you really believe, your dreams are more likely to become reality. When you vividly foresee your dreams and you then focus your belief system and actions intensely, like a laserbeam, they are more likely to be realized.

I have identified several of Mrs. Roosevelt's quotes below that I found on the web. I hope you enjoy them.

Eleanor Roosevelt

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
