You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way. - Regina Brett

To do that means you will get messy, because life is messy. Yes, life is a gift, every day of it, but it isn't tied with a bow.

You can compare yourself to those above you and whine or compare yourself to those below you and gloat, or you can stay focused on that man or woman in the mirror and embrace his or her unique assignment with gratitude.

When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
