What lies ahead

Strain your eyes
to see the goal.

Though it may be far away,
you'll get there someday.

If you work for it.

The important things in life
don't come easy.

But how much greater it feels
when you accomplish them.

Ask the person who was paralyzed
and learned to walk again.

Or the blind man
who paints.

To say "I can't"
is to give up without trying.

And if you have not even tried,
you have already failed.

Walter Hagen said, "You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry. Don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way."

But if you stop,
don't forget to start again.

Be sure to not get distracted by the little unimportant things in life
and lose site of the goal.

Lest you forget what you were brought down here for.

And some things that seem important or devastating in the moment,
might later turn out to be nothing at all.

So stay focused.
Never lose sight of the goal.
