You Can Do It!

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I had a big poster with this great quote, hanging on my wall when I was a teenager. I still remember it was bright red with a blazing golden sun rising, full of potential for a new day.

This inspirational quote has been a bit of a guide for me through my life. It has helped me to do new things with little fear... knowing that life's genius, power and magic were there to greet my actions.

My success as a result of embracing this positive attitude is that I have done so many incredible things in my life! From traveling to over 30 countries, sailing the South Pacific, making wonderful friends the world over, and finding that I can do just about anything I put my mind to!

Life is indeed an adventure. I think the best way to explore it's potential is to Love, and to savor every moment of experience we are given.

Cathy, I have added an image from Flikr.com that is like the poster you talk about. Hope you don't mind. - Geoff
