No.9: Beat on

"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
-Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby

Resolution #9: To forget the past and the future. To remember the now and live it. To remember that life has already started and that it depends on me to mount it and ride it out to its fullest. To focus on the now and remember that everything else will follow.
