Benjamin Franklin Quote
A to Z Challenge – Benjamin Franklin Quote

This quote is one of the most popular quotes in corporate. I have heard this in several planning workshops and I might have used it in a training or two. The first thing I liked about this quote was the word play. I like clever quotes like this!

The message itself is very powerful. When I was just introduced to the theory of abundance and the Law of Attraction, I thought this quote against that. But the quote actually drives a powerful message that can be used in conjunction with the law above. If I wish to attract something, I must also put an effort toward making it true. I must prepare and prepare in advance. The intent, the preparation and the effort together will make my wish come true.

  1. Quite frankly, this one is a constant reminder of how preparation for anything sets ourselves for effective productivity. Even though I believe in Law of Attraction, I need to be alert about not passively waiting for results. I have liked Benjamin Franklin’s quotes. Nice theme here.

    1. Thanks Vaishali… I think the biggest misinterpretation of the law is wishing and waiting 🙂 thank you for liking today’s quote

  2. I’ve grown up listening to this quote all the time and I feel it’s really apt! And when you plan things,it makes you so much more organised!

    Cheers

  3. It’s really true, fail to prepare and thats a prep for failure. Ironically, it just fits every thing-lifestyle, raising kids, food habits etc!

    1. The principle is powerful indeed… I truly believe if you apply it correctly, you can get everything you want! Thank you for visiting and am glad you liked it 🙂

  4. Such a fabulous quote. I would have thought it was counter productive to the law of attraction too, if I hadn’t read your post. I guess we forget that setting clear intentions also needs a lot of preparation.

Hope you enjoyed reading this post. Let me know your thoughts :)
