VISIONS AND IDEALS
Important excerpts:
“The dreamers are the saviours of the world.”
“Cherish your visions... the beauty that forms in your mind... your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions.”
“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become.”“The thoughtless, the ignorant, and the indolent... talk of luck, of fortune, and chance... They do not see the long and arduous journey, but only behold the pleasant goal.” Vision, unlike an idle wish, is uncontainable and powerful. Think big. Dream.
There is no luck, chance or fate. There is only effort and result. Cause and effect. Thoughts crystallise into habits; habits solidify into circumstances. master your thoughts and control your circumstances.
