About this Quote

This quote by Anais Nin speaks with the idea of a cyclical relationship between dreams and action. Dreams are the first step while doing so, supplying the inspiration and inspiration to take action. Taking action then brings the dream into truth, and the cycle continues. This connection between dreams and action is what develops the highest kind of living. It is through this cycle that we can achieve our goals and reach our greatest potential. Dreams supply the vision and action offers the means to make it take place. Without action, dreams remain just that, dreams. Without dreams, action is meaningless. It is only through the mix of the 2 that we can reach our highest form of living.
