When taken into consideration one’s length of life is short, and so much time is taken up with menial tasks which do nothing for advancement or growth. And what little time is left is spent in fear and pain, with glimpses of some happiness which fleetingly take hold and give one reason to continue on ahead.
But if one took the early years as times to learn and grow, explore the earth and know oneself, and risk, for adventure, to sow some seeds for later life so one could sooner know just what attracts one to be the best one can, then life would flow.
Conservative in nature and inclined to procrastination, many of us are taught to conform to that which has been done before, and to build oneself a castle with all the trappings laid out as if to indicate success portrayed.
Where have all our future dreams been placed and hid from view? Can we even remember just what we took to be the vital essence of our nature which helped us to be free?
Take your opportunity with open arms at once, and do now what you can, despite your age, to forward glance, and dare to live the life you know you came to live, and risk possessions old so you can travel light. For in the twilight hours, when the naked flame of youth fades to darkness for the last, all you have is what you dared to do, and who you sought to be, and none of earthly belongings will mean much to thee.
Do not take this lightly, for this is a secret tall. Take your life in hand and play your part for all.
