Ella Wheeler Wilcox
With each strong thought, with every earnest longing
     For aught thou deemest needful to thy soul,
Invisible vast forces are set thronging
     Between thee and that goal
 
’Tis only when some hidden weakness alters
     And changes thy desire, or makes it less,
That this mysterious army ever falters
     Or stops short of success.
 
Thought is a magnet; and the longed-for pleasure,
     Or boon, or aim, or object, is the steel;
And its attainment hangs but on the measure
     Of what thy soul can feel.
