“I have 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.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
Though, of course, I’ve learned if one flops awkwardly, full of self-doubt and insecurity, in the general direction of her dreams, sometimes that’s enough to start.
If I waited until I fully accomplished a healthy self-concept and self love, I'd never have gotten anywhere!
