I think Mr. Thoreau really just gets me. All of his quotations resonate within me, as if he created them with me in mind. Specifically, I feel drawn to these words:
:: Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined. ::
Many people are trapped in jobs, relationships and, ultimately, lives that aren't fulfilling. Know that you are the only who can break the cycle of lack of purpose, passion and drive. Take your life into your own hands; grip the steering wheel and maneuver out onto the road that will take you beyond your wildest dreams. Remain confident that you were blessed with talents and abilities that have the potential to change the world. Use what inspires you to make a difference in someone else's life. Count your blessings and evaluate what your life could be if you only allowed yourself to go forth confidently, to imagine.
Be empowered by Thoreau's words: Move, dream, go...live.
