To live life without a doubt, to never look back to see the trail you've left behind you, seems so optimum. But sometimes you've got to wonder, are those behind you making bigger, better paths for you to backtrack a few steps back and take?
Why are we so intent upon planning our whole life before we're even old enough to drive? It's the American way; anything you put your mind to, you can do; you can be whatever your heart desires; if you try hard enough your dreams will become reality. There are those that truly believe the afore mentioned sayings, and there are those that are willing to throw it all away for their lips on a liquor bottle and their hands closed around a pair of dice, their life savings placed on their lucky number.
Luck in life only gets us so far. Everyone wants to live it up; everyone wants to test the odds; everyone wants to be a great success, to watch the camera flash and be handed a check in a mind boggling amount for standing there and smiling.
Spin the dial on the safe and keep it closed; keep your heart, morals, dreams, soul, and earnings inside, it's the only thing that you've got to count on in this life.
