The Journey

Christopher Reeve 1984 (St Petersburg)

Too many are consumed by our past. Or so focused on the path and destination, that we forget to live in the moment. Don't let past mistakes determine your future, nor the fear of the future determine your presence. Live in the now and not the unknown. Only then can one know; true freedom. Don't dwell in the past or what's to be, for you may overlook the real gift.
This journey; we call life.
