Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Swami Vivekananda
About This Quote

Marcus Tullius Cicero stated: “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life.” And, “Think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.” Cicero thought that we should create a life full of only the things we love and that will make us happy. We should get our brains and muscles wrapped around the idea and let every other idea go for a while. When we fail to follow through on an idea, we should try again.

If we never fail at anything, we could never get better at anything. And, if we never get better at anything, we could never get the success we want in life.
