Henry David Thoreau was an American author and poet who lived from 1817 to 1862. He was very passionate about natural history and wrote about the joys of a simple life, epitomized by living close to nature.

His works, particularly Walden, influenced the evolution of the Environmentalist movement.

He also developed his philosophy on civil disobedience, which proved to be an inspiration for later greats such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, both of whom themselves, incidentally, relentlessly and famously pursued their own dreams!

Thoreau’s motivating admonishment urges us to strive for what our hearts desire. It’s all too easy, with the pressures and stresses we experience, to lose sight of what we really want. Don’t let it be so! Be confident! Follow your dreams! Live the life you have imagined!

Thank you, Henry Thoreau.
