From Poverty to Purpose: Les Brown's Inspiring Journey

And so when you master something that you love, when you look at what it is you want to do and have this sense of purpose, it inspires you to create a plan. Something that Robert Shuller said. He said people don't plan to fail. They fail to plan. He, at 10 years old, decided, sitting on the side of a bed a local distance from his mother, with a vision to extract her out of the environment where she was. He put together a plan of action that will allow him to step away from the life that he was living and his mother was experiencing and create a new reality.
