The idea in mind

The moment you make a decision on who you want to be, or what you want to do with your life, that idea infiltrates every part of your being. It polarizes interactions and choices in your life. The contrasts are clearly defined; challenges and solutions, setback and progress, failure and success. It guides your steps.

Having the idea in your mind, you assess events, choices and decisions, and categorize them as either being for you or against you and your vision. Unless you give up on the idea, you will never willingly and knowingly do things that subvert or kill your dream. Whatever comes your way, adversity or pleasure, golden handshakes or fake promises, arduous circumstances or good days; nothing will move you.

As long as you have the idea of who you want to be in mind, efforts you make considering that idea will get you closer. The important thing is to have the idea in mind; not having one borders death.
