Actually it is all there, everything you ever wanted is there, but what keeps you away from it are the daily repetitive obstacles that constantly bring you down and has the ability to pull you further into its trap.
Yes, those falls are painful and tempts you to give in. Some people fall and never get up, some fall and always return to their feet. Those who can stand up again and again truly understands the concept of the hourglass philosophy by Niccolo Machiavelli.
"The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it." - Niccolo Machiavelli
The sand is the obstacle, once the sand escapes, then of course we would have a clear view. So the concept here is simple, of course we would not be able to get rid of all the sand, but you do realise that by turning the hourglass the other way around actually helps you to see clearer through one part and when that one part gets filled with sand again, then you just turn it the other way around...
That is to say, the sand (obstacle) will forever be inside the hourglass, but what you can do is to turn it to see the clearer side, and so on.... giving up means allowing the sand to block your vision when actually a pot of gold is waiting for you on the other side.
