The dream that you have is not something for the future to lay at your feet. You only have right now to pursue it. The fear you are running from will not defeat itself with time. You only have right now to face it.
The chance you have been given is not to be wished for under better circumstances, you only have right now to take it.
You don’t get to change yesterday, and you cannot know tomorrow. You only have right now to make a difference. Yesterday’s events have run their course, and that which comes tomorrow is not yet here. You only have right now to take action.
