Thoreau on dreams

Clouds in the countryside

Clouds in the countryside

“I learn this at least by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live that 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.  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 Thoreau, Walden

    Good post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I
    stumbleupon on a daily basis. It will always be exciting to read articles from other writers and
    use a little something from their websites.

    Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
    Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?
    I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
    I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to
    start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks
