For anyone who has ever thought back to times when the future was just an inescapable inevitability of accomplishment, only to find that it is in fact only what you make of it, here is what I have learned.  Destiny is ever-changing and in order to meet it, you must also be adaptable to be able to thrive, yet even survival can be filled with pain and sorrow as you forge ahead.  Never forget, this is life and there is no tomorrow, yesterday is only a memory and today is slipping away with each breath.  But, this is not cause for alarm or misery, it is a call to action, to rush headstrong into the unknown grabbing the horns of the bull and wrestling it down to the ground.
