HENRY DAVID THOREAU

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." - Henry David Thoreau


Another word for vision -- give it legs -- then see what happens. Sometimes the only way to begin is to be one. If you want to write -- then, write. If you want to paint -- then paint. If you want to teach -- then, teach. If you want to be a comedian -- then, be funny and have fun.

Digging a foundation is not glamorous, yet it is necessary for anything to be solid -- a relationship, an occupation or a bank account.

Roll up your sleeves and discover what is necessary, step, by step, by step. If it rains, you might have mud. So, clean up, and begin again.

Step, by step, by step, by step, by step. Each time you wipe the dust from your eyes the picture will be clearer and brighter. Just like a plant which naturally is drawn toward the sun. Every cell's natural desire is to be drawn toward the sun. So, relax and enjoy the ride. Every bump, every bruise, every acknowledgement, very victory, every........... It gets sweeter - honest.

Denny--This is so inspiring that thanks for this as it's been awhile since I've sat down to write and I love to write so I'm going to make time over this weekend to sit and write again. Great job
