Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.

The bridge

You are worthy of great things, yet that’s no guarantee you’ll have them. You are worthy of greatness, and that obligates you to put work into creating greatness.

Anything is possible, yet the possibilities don’t manifest themselves. You must be realistic about the effort involved to improve your reality.

Desire motivates you to achieve, yet desire alone does not create achievement. Desire strongly pushes you, but does not do the work for you.

You have the good fortune of being able to transform your circumstances in the way you choose. The effort required of you makes the deal even sweeter.

Not only can you create richness, you can add to your strength and capability in the process. Because the work is what gives the rewards meaning and value to you.

Your persistent action is the bridge between what you envision in your thoughts and what you create in reality. Make that bridge strong, robust, productive and fulfilling.
