Today's reading was edited and adapted from Getting a Start,

first aids to success by Nathaniel C. Fowler, published in 1915.

To feel the flush of success is to do what you most want to do and what you can best do. Unless you

can do well what you want to do, the fullness of result is impossible. Conversely, unless

you want to do what you can do well, a small result is likely to follow. While what you want to do

appears to be subordinate to what you can do, so much do I believe in the assistance of

cooperation and the value of desire that I would place want to do ahead of can-do.

I would advise you first to consider what you want to do, and then determine whether or not you can do it.

If you find that what you want to do, you cannot do well, then make no attempt in that direction, and choose something else which you want to do,

and continue the process until what you want to do and what you can do, connect.

But in the meantime, don't loaf around.

Do something, even if you don't want to do it. Keep busy.

Science and endeavor can move the hills, but add love to them and you can move mountains.
