Following Your Dreams
“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 unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness.”
-Henry David Thoreau, Walden
A friend texted me this quote yesterday and I thought it was perfect for today’s note given I’m taking an early flight out west to spend a few days in Sedona, Arizona with a couple of close friends for some business planning, hiking, yoga, visiting some spiritual vortexes, and whatever else finds its way to us–the people you surround your Self with on your Pursuit are important!
My favorite part of this quote is “he will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him…”
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
