Listen to episode 588 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Driving Ambition | Hitch Your Wagon to a Star. Edited and adapted from Gaining the Round Above, a Guide to Personal Efficiency, by Gustavus S. Kimball. *Inspirational Podcast Excerpt* : Many of the circumstances of our lives we cannot change, but it IS up to us how we respond to them. Let it be understood at the start, that the patient conquest of difficulties in business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success we seek, but necessary to that preparation of mind requisite for the enjoyment of our success, and for retaining it when gained. It is the rule of Providence that the process of earning success shall be the preparation for its conversion and enjoyment. So, day after day, work on — and in that process, gain strength and symmetry, nerve and knowledge. No better advice was ever given to a young person than that conveyed in Emerson's maxim, "Hitch your wagon to a star."
