It deepens and expands with each day you give your best. You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done. You haven't even started.

I've come to confirm that one's title, even a title like president of the United States, says very little about how well one's life has been led. No matter how much you've done or how successful you've been, there's always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.
