Read This Aloud: “ ANY PERSON
who advances CONFIDENTLY
in the DIRECTION OF THEIR DREAMS
and endeavour TO LIVE
the life THEY’VE IMAGINE
, they will MEET WITH SUCCESS
unexpected in common hours.”
– Henry David Thoreau
.
I can remember the first time I heard this statement, it was in a video of Bob Proctor Books,
which he did in early 1980s. The above statement by Henry David Thoreau
(who was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian) literally gave me hope that I can also be, do or have whatever I wished for in my life and you can too.
As I began to meditate and think about the statement, in conjunctions with some other self help and mind science books I have read (examples are below), I made some understanding for myself, I found some secrets to the statement which I discussed below for you to get the same feeling I had.
My hope is that if you consider the statement and really understand it, you too can be empowered to be, to do and to have whatever your heart desires.
This is simple. It means YOU! It means anyone and everyone has the right “To Be” whatever they have desire to be. Regardless of your background, status, rich or poor, educated or not It doesn’t matter if you are big, small, tall, short, fat, slim or any combination of the above, you too can win in the game of life .
Whatever you’re doing in life, it has to be done by Confident , either consciously or unconsciously for the good or bad of your life. Whatever you’re experiencing in your life now it’s been confidently done, either you want to really accept that or not is another thing. In other words, if you’re enjoying a good life, you have done whatever you’re doing in a confident manner.
How do I know this? There is a lot of Naysayers out there which are there to disrupt your going forward but for you to have succeeded above them, it’s just because your confidence was higher and stronger than their criticism and cynicism.
So doing things in a confident manner, especially consciously, is absolutely rewarding but it comes with some understanding in your part as well.
This right here is very interesting. It simply saying “ you must have a dream in other for you to have a direction “. No one ever gets anything done without having to start with a Dream which will be or was transmitted into a burning desire to thrive towards that dream of theirs. In the book Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill , mentioned that a burning desire attached to a dream is almost impossible not to be achieved.
The next 2 points are of the same but explained separately for better understanding.
To Live…They’ve Imagine – the first 2 words on this one “ To Live ” is an incredible idea. Think about this for a moment: “You don’t get what you want in life, you get what you are”.
What the above statement meant is that, you have to be that person you want to be in your thinking, feeling and acting because “ Has a man thinketh in his heart so is he “. This is a statement of truth by James Allen a victorian author of a powerful book (“As A Man Thinketh”) I have been recommending for years.
These words “To Live” can also be said as “ BE – LI.VE ” from BELIEVE. You have to “ BE ” and “ LI.VE ” that person you want to be even before becoming that person, then the things that will make you that person will be attracted to you for the manifestation of that person.
They’ve Imagine is the fuel that power that “ To Live” or “ BE-LI.VE”.
Imagination is one of the component of Believe, which includes:
WORDS : what you speak or say,
ENVIRONMENT/ SURROUNDINGS : where you live or who you live with it,
ASSOCIATION : your friends or those who influences your life or decisions,
IMAGINATION/ WHAT YOU SEE : your constant mental pictures in your head.
This tells me that your imagination be it good, bad or indifference, always comes to past by the natural law of attraction.
So what is Success: “ Success Is The Progressive Realization Of A Worthy Ideal “.
The statement means before you can progress in your realization, there must be something that you want to die for, something that you do, that’s worthy of your life, A definite Purpose.
However, that thing you want to trade your life for must be Ideal which means an IDEA that you fall in LOVE with. Idea + Love.
Whatever your Ideal is, it has to be done in a progressive way which means from one little level of start to an upper level of success which means onward and upward. Most people do things in plato, up and down without no sign of progression.
Knowing what you want and move towards it will bring you to meet with success in an unexpected common hours.
