The future comes one day at a time. Stop looking for the end result to bring you "the great joy." Instead, celebrate the ways in which your life is naturally gravitating towards your desire. Nothing in life is guaranteed, so make the most of each day and persevere. Let that be your joy: your journey! Remember in doing so, that you are STRONG!

The more I reinforce my greater desire over momentary temptation, the stronger I become and more able to achieve my goals.
