He has a small typo: cuig should be chuig. I think my suggestion would be better without chun, but as I said, we need some more opinion/corrections, just to be sure.

How about something like Bíodh a n-am ar do bhrionglóidí—bealach na réaltaí iad? Would that work? All the suggestions so far seem to lack the lightness and flow of the English version. I’m not sure if this is really better, but I think we need to think outside the box a bit more to get it to flow properly in Irish.

I can see what you mean, especially about the second part of my suggestion. Of course, this is part and parcel of the translation process - one can't expect something poetic to be rendered in Irish and have the same effect. I do like the first part of my original suggestion, though: Glac go réidh go leor ama I suppose do dhóthain ama could be used.

I like the 'bíodh...' Deas.

What about ...
Bíodh a sáith ama ag brionglóidí - bealach na réaltaí iad.

maybe

ná déan deabhadh le do thaibhreamh, seolfaidh sé ar an mbealach chun na réaltaí tú

don't make haste with your dreaming, it will send you on the way to the stars

I think the ones with "bíodh" at the beginning are expressing what I want to say. Thank you so much for all your ideas and translations!

Are these ones correct?
