A person can accomplish only so much in the course of a
lifetime. And so, it is inherent that decisions will need to be made. It is important
to pick a path and then follow it to the end.
Choosing a direction is never easy. And some choices will be
made for you. We must all play the hand we are dealt. To fold is to give up
without even trying.
A lot can be accomplished through sheer determination. But
the desire must come from within. Dreams are not from the mind; they are born
in the heart.
Always take
responsibility for your actions. That is the truest mark of adulthood. If the house of cards falls, then the one who
built it is to blame.
The dreams that last are built to last. If they are thrown
together, expect them to fall apart. Without
a firm foundation, the greatest tower cannot stand.
Determine what steps will be needed to reach the goal.
Envision everything required for the journey. And then go forth, for your path
is chosen and the destination is waiting…
Well said, Donald! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, April! There are a lot of decisions we make. Let's make sure they are good ones...
DeleteYes, we must play the hand we are dealt but play it well. A victory can be hallow and a defeat can be glorious. It is the player, not the game, that wins or losses.
ReplyDeleteVictory can most definitely be hollow, if it is an empty pursuit to begin with. The dreams of such will collapse under their own weight.
