TRANSFERRED JOY
In life you must enjoy it as it is real, something that is plain as day in front of you may not be as accessible the next. I know you are so use to the modern advice, cherish what you have today for tomorrow is not promised. Well, that isn't true God promises many things unto his humble servant. Everlasting life is one, that whosoever believeth in him shall have it.
Love life and trust yourself, believe in your goals, implement a realistic and educated approach to achieve your goals one at a time! Only then will you flow with the blows that life itself could hit you with.
During a great conversation with my late Grandmother a little before she died:
Keyrion: "Grandma I'm almost done with school but it's taking forever."
Grandmother: "Well, baby don't even think about the time it takes, just keep going until you can't go no more."
