Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and today is September 25th.
It's National Daughters Day, a day to celebrate the wonderful daughters in our lives. If you have a daughter or daughters then today is the day to let them know how important they are. I have two daughters and just to make things even more meaningful, it's also World Dream Day.
Seems like the perfect combination, don’t you think? Celebrating daughters and the power of dreams—what could be more hopeful than that? Now, let’s talk about dreams—especially the ones we hold for our daughters. Whether they’re dreaming of becoming astronauts, artists, or the next big thing on YouTube (in 2024, anything’s possible), one thing remains true: encouraging those dreams is one of the best things we can do.
So today’s quote comes from a pretty legendary dreamer himself, Walt Disney.
He said:
"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."
Now, Walt knew a thing or two about dreams—and daughters too, considering he named his theme park Disneyland after his own daughters and their childhood imaginations. Dreams are powerful, but Disney was right—dreams don’t just float down from the sky wrapped in a neat little bow.
They take work, belief, and courage. And when it comes to our daughters—whether they’re still in pigtails or well into adulthood—our job is to remind them that their dreams are possible, but it’s going to take a little grit, some setbacks, and a whole lot of heart to get there.
The beauty of dreams is that they keep evolving, much like daughters themselves. One day they might dream of being a princess, and the next, they’re starting a tech company. Our role? To believe in each version of those dreams and encourage that bravery to chase them down.
So, on this special day, if you have a daughter, give her an extra hug and remind her that her dreams are within reach. And if you are a daughter, don’t be afraid to dream a little bigger today. After all, Walt Disney wasn’t just talking to kids when he said those words—he was talking to the dreamers of every generation. And let’s be honest, the world could use a few more bold dreamers right now.
My daughters love Quesidillas so to celebrate daughters day guess what we are having today... and weirdly enough it is also National Quesidilla Day today!!
That’s it for today’s episode of The Daily Quote. I hope this gave you some inspiration to celebrate the daughters in your life—and maybe even chase a dream of your own. Remember, courage isn’t about having no fear—it’s about pursuing the dream in spite of it.
Thanks for joining me today, enjoy your Quesidilla if you have them and I’ll see you tomorrow with another Daily Quote.
