Building Castles in the Air

castle

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.”
- Henry David Throreau

This is my favorite quote. I also always said that if I ever were to get a tattoo this would be it… some visual representation of this quote.  I love it.

Don’t shoot solely for what is within reach, easily attainable or right in front of you. Build your castles in the air. Dream of great, seemingly unimaginable things. Life is a marathon and not a sprint. You may have a castle in the air, but the first step to getting there is always laying the first brick.  With determination and the right attitude, you may enjoy your view from the clouds one day.
