What one can be, one must be. I am old enough to know that victory is often a thing deferred, and rarely at the summit of courage. What is at the summit of courage, I think is freedom. The freedom that comes with the knowledge that no earthly thing can break you. Saying yes and no clearly builds confidence and rids us of the misconception that we are powerless.
Dreams are renewable.
No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born. The best way to predict your future is to create it. Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible. If we all did the things we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves. The best way out is always through.
