Living the Life You Imagined?

 I have learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.

Henry David Thoreau

What experiment is Thoreau talking about that gave him this insight to "advance confidently" in the direction of his dreams? 

He spent two years in a little one room cabin in the woods, on the property of his sccessful mentor, Ralph Waldo Emerson. From that experiment and the writing of it he became one of the world's greatest transcendental writers. (I am not sure if that is what he meant by success but...)

I am reading "Walden" now...well listening to it on a free adio book I found on line. It's pretty cool.

I ask myself, " Am I living the life I have imagined?" Hmm! Big question. What about you, are you living the life you imagined? Are you meeting with success?  

And what exactly is "success?" And what are the "common hours?" 

Those are questions best left for another day. 

Happy Canada day to all fellow canucks!!! 

All is well.
