Where you are in physical space
is largely unimportant;
it's where you are in spiritual space
that determines
how your life will be lived.
If that space is pinched
by doubt and dark pain,
then no matter where you go
you will not have moved at all.
You will carry your burden with you,
a psychic anchor tethering you
to a life of narrow horizons.
Yet, if you can raise your dimmed eyes
above the barriers of despair
and beat a path through the nettles
of negativity, you will finally
emerge into the light,
fully-formed and walking into eternity.

Very very..
true my friend. these are words of wisdom.
Most who procrastinate in life do so because
their stuck in the past or present.
We tend to dwell on the bad and forget all
the good in our life. Our mind needs to be
renewed daily with positive thoughts.
Negativity is deadly. Great insight
