If you wish to do something, start right where you stand, and begin doing it – NOW! ‘What,’ you may ask, “shall I use for tools? Where will I get the capital? Who will help me?” And I shall reply that men who accomplish anything worthy of mention always begin before everything they need is in hand. I have never yet been entirely ready for anything I have begun, and I doubt if anyone else ever has been. It is one of the strange phenomena of human experience that the man who begins, where he stands, and does the best he can with whatever means he may have, very soon finds other and better means of accomplishing his objectives. Mysteriously, the tools are placed at his disposal.
What you are, so is your world. Everything in the universe is resolved into your own inward experience. It matters little what is without, for it is all a reflection of your own state of consciousness. It matters everything what you are within, for everything without will be mirrored and colored accordingly.
