"The same Source that gave you the idea, will give you the means to see it through"
About this Quote
The subtext is a gentle rebuke of scarcity thinking. If you’re stuck, the problem isn’t the world’s limits but your failure to stay aligned with whatever “Source” represents: intuition, purpose, faith, a deeper self. That’s why the quote functions as permission. It invites you to act before you feel ready, because readiness is treated as something that arrives after commitment, not before it.
Context matters: in self-help and entrepreneurial culture, ideas are romanticized while logistics are brutal. Cohen offers a belief-based bridge that keeps people moving. It’s also strategically unfalsifiable. “Means” can be money, a mentor, a lucky break, a new skill, a change of plan; any outcome can be retrofitted as providence. That flexibility is the appeal and the risk: it can catalyze courage, but it can also replace planning with hope.
