If You Can Dream It, It's Yours
By: Brian Johnson, Chief Philosopher of PhilosophersNotes.com
There's nothing capricious in nature, and the implanting of a desire indicates that its gratification is in the constitution of the creature that feels it. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson from The Selected Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wow. That's a strong statement.
First, nature is not capricious--she doesn't play around. You wouldn't *have* the desire if you couldn't *manifest* the desire. POWERFUL stuff.
Kinda reminds of Napoleon Hill's classic: "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve."
More from Emerson: "Our desires presage the capacities within us; they are harbingers of what we shall be able to accomplish. What we can do and want to do is projected in our imagination, quite outside ourselves, and into the future. We are attracted to what is already ours in secret. Thus passionate anticipation transforms what is indeed possible into dreamt-for reality."
And, "Do that which is assigned to you, and you cannot hope too much or dare too much."
Well... what are you waiting for?
You've been inspired. It's time to reap your destiny!!!!! (!!!!!!) :)

This is awesome!I am passionate about the possibilities of today!Thank You! Bless You!
Truly well-stated and motivational for those who sometimes cannot motivate themselves. I also feel too, that nature, being in it and surrounded by it and animals is the real meaning of life. Just like music and art, we can achieve a somewhat sense of balance being outside in pretty surroundings, walking, talking and bonding to animals, trees and plants and the sky, stars and planets. They know us and they breathe us and for us as well. Have a great afternoon and evening you all!
