Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!

The future is uncertain and the end is always near
For some people…

For others, the future is a wide-open world of possibilities,
In a seemingly endless expanse of time.

What mindset you have,
Determines what the world will look like.

Feed your fears and they will fatten,
Feasting on your sense of ease,
Even when no danger is present.

Fill your brain with wisdom and knowledge,
A learning mindset.
And the world is a never-ending source,
of wonder and excitement.

While sharing the world with people of different mindsets
Can be challenging and illuminating
Keep in your mind the knowledge that.

No matter what the other mindsets are up to,
No matter what tomorrow brings,
Now is always the best time for.
