From the way most people live,
one would never guess that humans are beings of free will.

day after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal.

in the pursuit of a life dream.

training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition?
And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day
out of habit and boredom?
