VISIONS AND IDEALS


The dreamers are the saviours of the world. 23
As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers. 23
He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it. 23
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals. Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. For out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built. 23
To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve. 23
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. 23
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream… Dreams are the seedlings of realities. 24
Your circumstances may be uncongenial (unfriendly), but they shall not remain so if you only perceive an ideal and strive to reach it. YOU CANNOT TRAVEL WITHIN AND STAND STILL WITHOUT (outside). 24
You…will realize the vision [not just the idle wish] of your heart, be it base or beautiful, or a mixture of both; for you will always gravitate toward that which you secretly love most. 24
Into your hands will be placed the exact results of your own thoughts. You will receive that which you earn; no more, no less. 24
Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts – your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire, as great as your dominant aspiration. 24
In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results. The strength of the effort is the measure of the result. 25
Gifts, powers, material, intellectual and spiritual possessions are the fruits of effort. They are thoughts completed, objectives accomplished, visions realized. 25
The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart – this you will build your life by; this you will become. 25
