Henry David Thoreau, known as one of the founding fathers of
transcendentalism, provides some words of wisdom that serve as a
reminder that one should follow their dreams without being
withheld from the influence of others. Thoreau is merely reminding
people to live the way in which they imagine living; that one must
do so confidently, with no regret. In acting confidently, one will not
allow others to stand in between what goals and achievements they
have in mind. When the path and dreams are clear, do not allow
others to detract from the life envisioned.
