I now think it takes more faith to name our need than to keep believing that something will happen and not doing anything about it. It takes faith, and great courage, to get help, to take the first painful step toward the dream that is in our hearts.. I know now that you can look at bricks and cement for years, believing in the vision of a home, but until you get down on your hands and knees and start to build, it will remain a dream. Sheila Walsh
About This Quote

Faith is not something that can be ignored or denied. If you are unwilling to act in the face of your own needs, then you will never attain your goals. No matter how long you wait, nothing will happen until you act.
