As if each of us might somehow have a blueprint. As if somewhere there's the shape of my life, and I had the chance to choose a few variations, but not far from the pattern.

About This Quote

You can have a dream, you can have a vision, but the only way to achieve it is to follow through. If you don’t follow through with your dreams, then that’s the only path you are going to have. If you don't follow through with what you want, then there’s no chance of achieving it.
