You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration: in the beautiful words of Stanton Kirkham Davis, "You may be keeping accounts, and presently you shall walk out of the door that for so long has seemed to you the barrier of your ideals, and shall find yourself before an audience  the pen still behind your ear, the ink stains on your fingers and then and there shall pour out the torrent of your inspiration. YOU WILL BECOME AS SMALL AS YOUR CONTROLLING DESIRE AS GREAT AS YOUR DOMINANT ASPIRATION IN THE BEAUTIFUL WORDS OF STANTON KIRKHAM DAVIS YOU MAY BE KEEPING ACCOUNTS AND PRESENTLY YOU SHALL WALK OUT OF THE DOOR THAT FOR SO LONG HAS SEEMED TO YOU THE BARRIER OF YOUR IDEALS AND SHALL FIND YOURSELF BEFORE AN AUDIENCE THE PEN STILL BEHIND YOUR EAR THE INK STAINS ON YOUR FINGERS AND THEN AND THERE SHALL POUR OUT THE TORRENT OF YOUR INSPIRATION

We find him a master of certain forces of the mind, which he wields with worldwide influence and almost unequalled power. In his hands he holds the cords of gigantic responsibilities; he speaks, and lo, lives are changed; men and women hang upon his words and remould their characters, and, sunlike, he becomes the fixed and luminous centre round which innumerable destinies revolve. He has realized the Vision of his youth. He has become one with his Ideal. And you, too, youthful reader, will realize the Vision (not the idle wish) of your heart, be it base or beautiful, or a mixture of both, for you will always gravitate toward that which you, secretly, most love. Into your hands will be placed the exact results of your own thoughts; you will receive that which you earn; no more, no less. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your Vision, your Ideal.
