You might be miles away from where you want to be. You might have gone backward much more than forward. You might have screwed up everything up until now. You may have failed several marriages already. You may have screwed up several careers. You may be at the end of your rope.

But you know where you want to be. You know where you need to be.

And the only way to get there is to start from here — right now.

What are your alternatives?

You cannot start from anywhere else. You cannot choose your upbringing, race, or heritage.

But you can choose to start.

And you can choose your direction.

All you can do is start from where you are — right now.

What you have is a road before you. This road leads to all places, good and bad, just as your driveway is connected to every other driveway by the road.

There are plenty of great places to go. You know which destination you is best for you.

You can get there from here.

But only if you start.

And only if you are headed in the right direction.
