Quote: “Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.” -Helen Keller Definition: “having meaning through having an aim”
It’s not often we get to see the world the way it was meant to be seen. Only as children did we focus solely on what interested us the most. You couldn’t pry me away from my Lego building escapades if you tried!

You are bombarded by reasons to not do the things you want to do. Every one of your senses soak in loads of reminders that living in your dream world will NOT pay your bills. You’ve been lead to believe, and accepted, that you are not capable of doing your all.
Forget that now. Forget the walls that stopped you before. You’re past that and have a new life to live. It’s time for you to improve your purposefulness. Time to get you back on track and doing what you are supposed to do.
