This journey will be unlike any other journey you have ever attempted.
Losing those ten pounds around your belly, that was nothing — child’s play — compared to this journey.
To avoid losing resolve along this journey, please keep your ambitions in mind — you are to free yourself of cynicism, a worthy goal in and of itself, and attempt to rekindle a sense of hope and optimism in the world, another worthy aim.
