[Gosh, Teddy, such inspiring words. He gives his boyfriend a nudge and continues.]
"The trouble with us is that we do not realize the exisence of these faculties. We think that we are merely what we manifest in our ordinary dogtrot gait. Another problem is that we have not had the incentive to take action - we have lacked the interest to do great things - we haven't wanted it enough. This 'want-to-hard-enough' is the great inciting power in life. Desire is the fire which rouses up the steam of Will. Without Incentive - and that means Desire - we accomplish nothing. Given the great, earnest, burning ardent Desire as an animating force - the great incentive to take action, and we are able to get up this mental 'second wind' - tapping one plane of inward power after another, until we work mental miracles."

You know, I actually forgot just how literally I took this stuff right from the get-go. I wonder if that's part of the problem?
