The Vision...
Devotion to Motion io the commitment to move foarward in
life emotionally, spiritually ana physically. By maintaining a focus to grow and leam, one
can create a world of unlimited opportunities and reach his or her fullest potential.
Fulfilling one's destiny is a life-long joumey without houndaries. It can take a human
being into the depths of depression and sadness, and it can also guide an individual
through transformation, realization, and manifestion. Both joumeys, as different as night
and day, are necessary in rediscovering one's true essence, the self. Devotion to Motion
io about traveling hack in time, making peace with the past, and venturing into the future
embracing change. It io about understanding the two places in which we all choose to live,
a piace of love or a piace of fear. Rewards for our efforts along the joumey come
when we learn to appreciate the bridge that connects the past with our future, a bridge
called the present. Without acknoledging this bridge, we are either trapped in our past
which we can net change or predetermining our future which we can only really address with
intention. Devotion to Motion is a journey, not a destination. |
