At the very first CreativeMornings/Chicago Happy Hour, guest speaker Dallas Clayton of An Awesome Book gives an inspirational and honest talk based on a few life lessons he’s learned along the way. Dallas is a writer and illustrator of children’s books, full of small lessons that are applicable to every walk of life.

Favorite quotes from this talk See all
The first step is being able to admit that you have a dream.
You have to try. You have to push yourself to do things.
Dream a dream as big a dream could ever dream to be, then dream a dream ten times as big as that one dream...
You start learning these things about yourself.. You start realizing who you are and then, eventually, you pass that. You stop knowing who you are and you start knowing who you think you are.
There are places in the world where people do not dream of rocker-powered unicorns and candy cane machines, of magic watermelon boats and musical baboons, or teeny tiny trumpet players training pet raccoons.
