The future is always headed in the direction it should. No matter how big or small the picture we are looking at. We can move freely in its path but we never get to decide where we are headed. It might look like it with our goals and ambitions but no matter the cause. You have only chosen where you want to walk to the point you see a path and the rest of the path no one knows. 

My mind is at rest. My soul is at peace and my body is constantly moving. Towards death.
My mind is restless. My soul is in pain and my body is constantly moving. Towards life.
