Awake or asleep, you will always be haunted by the painful knowledge that all of the perspectives have diminished. When and while trying there is a definite possibility of success. You are in the swim of life, active and the part of it all. You feel alive and living. Whatever the outcome of your venture is to be, you have already torn the pages out of life and made them memorable and active.
Life has to be active to be worthwhile and meaningful.
We can use that gift to attain great pleasures or simply destroy it. We do both. Smart ones the right way the others their way. Smartness in life is not the smartness measured by acquired information. Smartness in life is the ability to choose your priorities and always keep them as such.
