Let us, then, be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
We live trapped, between the churned-up and examined past and a future that waits for our work.
It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.
We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.
'Work and wait', 'work and wait' is what God says to us in creation.
Do not be in a hurry to succeed. What would you have to live for afterwards? Better make the horizon your goal; it will always be ahead of you.
Our fate is determined by how far we are prepared to push ourselves to stay alive - the decisions we make to survive. We must do whatever it takes to endure and make it through alive.
I stand ready to lead us down a different path where we're lifted up by our desire to succeed, not dragged down by a resentment of success.
Life is a work in progress.
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
