Life is a journey
Life is a journey. It can be a long journey with a far destination. It can be a series of individual short journeys with many stop over or rest places in between. We started our journeys from birth. Along the journey, we feel things, we see things, we experience things, we learn things, we interact with others and we express. We do so many things along the journey of life.
Along the journey, we triumphed at times, and we tripped at other times. If we did trip, we need to pick ourself up and continue the journey. Or else, the journey would end. This requires courage and determination.
The end of the journey is the destination. For some, getting to the destination is very important. So they hurry along to get to their destination. They missed the beautiful scenery along the way, the warmth of the family, the happiness of friendship, and the singing of the birds. When they reached their destination, they realise that there is really not much to see there, compared to the scenery along the journey. And there is no going back to the same journey. If they had time left they may venture into new journey. The smart ones, learned from their experience and slow down to enjoy the journey, the other hurry past to continue to reach the next destination.
Along the journey, we learn to walk better, we picked up more skills and we trip less. We may walk faster, but we must enjoy the journey. We make friends and partner along the journey, so we are not alone. We enjoy each other company and we encourage each other as we walk along.
Sometimes, during the journey, we need to pause for a rest, to ponder, to re-evaluate. Am I going on the right track? Am I heading for the right destination? Do I need to change direction? Is this well beaten track best for me? Do I need to try new track? What ever your decision, follow your heart, evaluate with your mind, determine to succeed and above all, you must be brave.
Most of all we must enjoy the journey.
