As we live our lives, we find that our actions lead us in many directions. At the same time, we realize the oil is perpetually burning. As we make our way through the memories of the past, we inevitably start to analyze the way our time was utilized. We learn that we burned more time at certain points in our lives than others. As the ashes fall, we find ourselves lumbering through an ever expansive field of debris. At some point we have to eliminate the clutter from our path in order to keep a clear view of the future. Whether that be mourning a loss and letting the tears wash away the grime or finally getting angry enough to let our human rage sweep it away, we must present ourselves with the chance to succeed, a path to achieve it, and obtain the ability and the patience to make it happen. No one ever climbed Everest walking backwards and no one has ever achieved greatness through mediocre action. Just something to think on!
