From Now On, Then, Resolve To Live As A Grownup Who Is Making Progress

Colorado River along the Parker Strip AZ. Iphone6s

From now on, then, resolve to live as a grown-up who is making progress,

And make whatever you think best a law that you never set aside.

And whenever you encounter anything that is difficult or pleasurable, or highly or lowly regarded,

remember that the contest is now:

you are at the Olympic Games,

you cannot wait any longer,

and that your progress is wrecked or preserved by a single day and a single event.
