Destination

Wherever you are and whoever you maybe, there is one thing in which you and me just alike at this moment, and in all moments of our existence: we are not at rest, we are on a journey. We are gaining something, or losing something everyday. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.

Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed; it sets us forward or backward. The action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole. To decline is to accept-the other alternative.

Are you nearer to your port today then yesterday? Yes, you must be a little nearer to some port or another. For since your ship was launched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single moment. The sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you would.

There can be no pause until you come into your destination.
