You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

Let the goodness flow

You can’t go back. But you can go on, and go better.

Nothing will ever be exactly like it was, yet you can bring forward the value of all you’ve been through. You can implant that value into what is, and carry it into the future.

The past is over. The best of what you experienced there, what you learned there, what you felt, is always yours to work with.

The way to do that is with commitment, with faith, perseverance. You do it with gratitude for what you have, exercising care and creativity in what you make of it.

From all the living you’ve done has come a vision of the good you can now do. Rooted in the ups and downs of your past are the energy, the will, and the passion for building the best possible future.

You are the connection between the world that is and all the goodness that’s passed your way. Keep that connection robust, and let the goodness flow.
