Thoreau writes, in Walden –
I learned this at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unimagined in common hours.
There’s a lot in that sentence. Does it inspire you? If it does, what does it inspire you to do?
It inspires me to become more aware of my dreams (and to try to distinguish my dreams from the dreams I’ve acquired). It inspires me to experiment, to see whether or not I’m surprised by how well those dreams can be realised if I take action – if I choose to “advance” in the direction of my dreams.
