I came up with the following quote early in the morning of April 2, 2020 when I thought about how important it is for your conscience to be moving in step with time and to not be stuck in your depressed past or ahead in your anxious future: To live in the present, you must move with time.The past does not move.

You turn off your alarm, wishing you could fade away into a wonderful dream where you're smiling and sipping a favorite beverage as you overlook the...
Who are we to know what's right? Even as adults we're still trying to figure out our own life. Get ready for the new kids. They'll rise, they'll fall. No matter what, they'll find their way through it all. - Positive Masters, Poem, 5/31/2019 - Every older generation seems to criticize the younger ones. We can guide the younger generations in a positive way, but in the end, the children will choose their own destiny by trying, failing, and succeeding on their interests and passions. We control our own destiny, and influence those coming up. The children are our future. They learn by observing us adults. If we yell and scream all the time, they'll become adults yelling and screaming...
You've got one shot in your life, make the most of your life! The fact that you're born into this world and still alive reading this article, demonstrates how lucky you are.
