The World in Focus

We each are floating through a vast sea of change, riding the crests of the waves, crashing towards prosperity or destruction. Some of us choose to fight the current, directing us to a similar state of unknowing. Often we end up the same as those who floated through life. But a small amount prevail, and that success pushes generations on to swim towards uncertainty, with the hope that they will find wealth and joy. And then there are those that do all they can to direct the tides toward the better. These are the people that want to change our world and break the mental barriers that separate man and hold us back from achieving the dreams that only the most dedicated dare to dream. Their futures are just as cloudy as the rest, but they are unique in their ability to persevere through the inevitable pain that life brings. And they know that even when it seems the tide is about to drag you under, you can always break free and swim towards a brighter future.
