Explanation
Michael Korda’s quote reminds us that our actions often begin with what we’re willing to imagine. If you can picture a different life, a better project, a braver conversation, or a new version of yourself, you’ve already taken the first small step toward making it real. Dreaming doesn’t mean ignoring reality; it means giving yourself permission to see beyond the limits of your current routine or doubts. So many meaningful changes start quietly: someone thinking, “What if I tried?” The bigger your sense of possibility, the more doors you notice, and the more courage you find to walk through them.

After studying at Oxford and serving in the Royal Air Force, he moved to New York and spent decades at Simon & Schuster, eventually becoming editor-in-chief and working with major authors, public figures, and bestsellers.
