I hadn't read a book in years and made it my mission to start with something short and insightful. Well my mission was complete within a few short hours (only a 63 page book) and I stumbled across one very powerful quote and wanted to share it.
"To desire is to obtain, to aspire is to achieve. Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be. Your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream.
The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg. And in the highest vision of a soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration."
I highly recommend this book and it will make you realize that your thoughts are what will mould your life for the better or worse.
