Life is a Journey

We are all travelers. We all follow paths. Our destinations may not be the same but the way we get there is. We journey through life in pursuit of happiness and satisfaction. Sometimes we find it and sometimes we don't. There are signs along the way, which very few of us observe. Getting lost while on the journey is something that everyone experiences at one point or another and i believe most of us have learned the hard way. These are lessons to be learned. Straying of the road can lead one into some unfamiliar territory and this is where you encounter temptation and your desire kicks in. But how many times will you choose the temptress ?? Chances ought to be taken, as i have learned the hard way the straight smooth road will always not be the right one.We are all human, we all mess up. We hurt ourselves as well as each other and sometimes even sacrifice the moral integrity for our own selfishness. That does not literally mean that all is lost. There are two sides of coin, life is good and bad, humans are saints and sinners at the same time. We have the potential to achieve a greater understanding about the quest known as life. We just need to look at the bigger picture. 


Many people live as life were a race to get to the grave as smoothly as possible with as few detours as possible. At the end of their lives they are worn out and feel like they never accomplished anything. Then someday they realize that the gift they were given is almost over without having been enjoyed. The moments that are meant to be savored and shared with those who are close to you aren't about whether you go to heaven or not, they are simply about living, existing, having a part and a place in this Universe, if only for a moment.


Life's a journey you take with the people around you, life is a journey you take with yourself, each choice you make to let an experience pass you by is one more thing you miss out on. It's one memory that you didn't take the chance on making. Believe in anything you want, just don't let your beliefs become the excuse you use to be afraid of living your life. No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can't change the fact that you live in now.


Do yourself a favor and add a few pit stops on the road that you're walking. Watch a sunset with someone you love, spend a playful Sunday with your kids, take the time to know how good a rose smells or how much nature cares for you.


Life is the particular road i've chosen to be on in a journey that moves forward into striking possibilities and adventures while remembering my past, and if i am not enthusiastic, if life doesn't tingle and i keep seeing the same scenery over and over again, it's because i've gotten lazy and started to walk in circles.


I have got a bonfire going, my bonfire: for me it's a way to experience my journey into myself and out to the stars , in and out of time, a wisdom that i need to live well through my actions ! 


I am not in a hurry !!
