Little manifestations of energy through the muscles are called work.  But where there is no thought, there will be no work.  Fill the brain, therefore, with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you and out of that will come great work.                                                                                                                                                                                        ~~Swami Vivekananda
