Life is an adventure, unpredictable.
Life means always going from the known to the unknown. Always climbing peaks that have not been climbed, always moving into uncharted seas with no chart, with only your inner guidance to lead you. The only way to become a master of oneself is to go into the unknown unafraid despite all the fear. -David Bennett
