Life is an adventure.
Each day should be spent with spontaneity and courage. "I'll do it tomorrow," should never be an answer.
All too often, values and priorities are blurred in our day to day lives. We are busy human beings with a constant agenda, unable to distinguish the positive from the meaningful.

Where do we go wrong in our effort to succeed? Through a futile strive for perfection. Perfection should not be the ending goal. True satisfaction should be based upon the ride, not the destination.

She reminded herself that life is worth living, that her life can be an adventure.
