Tchinovnicks, Sketches of Provincial Life: From the Memoirs of the Retired Conseiller de Cour Stchedrin Saltikow (1861)

There are moments in your life that define who you are. Everything you have done to this point has made you the person that stands in your shoes. There are also dreams and ideas you’ve had that you may have difficulty recalling or have just plain forgotten. These too were part of what makes you, you. It’s time to find those pieces of yourself you have set aside, and use them to become who you really want to become. All you have to do is take a chance on yourself. You have what it takes. You always have. It’s time to open your eyes and let the real dreams begin.
