[00:00.14]We Are on a Journey
[00:02.44]Wherever you are, and whoever you may be,
[00:06.23]there is one thing in which you and I are just alike,
[00:10.91] at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence.
[00:15.09]We are not at rest; we are on a journey.
[00:18.96]Our life is not a mere fact; it is a movement,a tendency,
[00:25.13]a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal.
[00:29.89] We are gaining something, or losing something, every day.
[00:34.36] Even when our position and
[00:37.05]our character seem to remain precisely the same,
[00:40.61]they are changing. For the mere advance of time is a change.
[00:46.65]It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July.
[00:52.17]The season makes the difference.
[00:54.91]The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.
[01:00.92] Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another.
[01:06.12]Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed.
[01:11.08] It sets us forward or backward.
[01:14.23]The action of the negative pole of a magnetic
[01:17.92]needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole.
[01:22.51]To decline is to accept-the other alternative.
[01:26.36]Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday?
[01:30.64]Yes, -you must be a little nearer to some port or other;
[01:36.42]for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life
[01:41.23]you have never been still for a single moment;
[01:44.66]the sea is too deep,
[01:46.97]you could not find an anchorage if you would;
[01:50.70]there can be no pause until you come into port.
