A lot of "successful" people are tragedies, because what they've accomplished aren't the things they wanted.

Isn't that how it is when you must decide with your heart? You are not just choosing one thing over another. You are choosing what you want.

Maybe it is no longer a problem in your life. But it is always a problem in your heart.
