Acting Out Of My Mind

Posted on July 31, 2012 by russtowne

“Before the deed comes the thought. Before the achievement comes the dream. Every mountain we climb, we first climb in our mind.” – Royal Robbins

I love this quote, and have learned that at some point I still had to get out of my mind and into action to make my dreams come true.
