All those things of life that steer our emotions in one direction or another. It is a story of goals. Goals that we all have. Whatever they may be, that make us human beings. The path I stood on that led to my goals was strune with practical doubts. " Who are you kidding", crossed my mind often. Then I moved forward one arduous step at a time.
