the Sunday football game or religious service -
how many of those people are consciously following their dream,
training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition?
And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day
out of habit and boredom?

She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing:
for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.
