EACH LIFE IS A JOURNEY. (PART 1)

   EACH LIFE IS A JOURNEY

Every one of us has the good fortune to dream where the dream is one of living better, or more wholesome, or making our adventure down the path of life much more tolerable and pleasant. It is these dreams that can shape a neighborhood, a country, or even the world if you allow yourself a  dream big enough. Thousands of people had big dreams, but it is only a few that capture their dream, embrace it, and direct all of their energy towards its realization.
 
“Never compare your journey with someone else’s. Your journey is your journey, not a competition”.

Your goals must be your own; you cannot live anyone else's goals with the same passion, perseverance, or the dedication and sacrifice necessary to make it a reality unless these goals are yours and yours alone.
 


During the course of life, we do not know why we have a set of friends, path, of course, relatives. All these things are familiar with journeys too. Every day, many journeys start from many places to many destinations. Some journeys are good, others are smooth and some are really rough. In the end, we reach the destinations

     
 

 LIFE
“It’s a journey. No one is ahead of you or behind you. You are not more “advanced” or less enlightened. You are exactly where you need to be. It’s not a contest. It’s life. We are all teachers and we are all students.”
  
Life is a journey and it's about growing and changing and coming to terms with who and what you are and loving who and what you are.
Each life is a Trip that takes us to places we either love, hate, or wish for something totally different. Too many people spend most of their lives comparing themselves to others and it is this comparison that can only serve to erode your own unique qualities and your inner fabric. Every person is special in this world and it is not a welcome attitude to ever suggest that you should not change yourself to become an exact copy of another person, nor should one attempt to believe or behave, or to own, or to acquire what everyone else has or appears to have.
 
It is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations, and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road will not always be smooth; in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges.
Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that will come between the paths that we are destined to take.
In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these obstacles. Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, only we don't realize that at the time.
When things don't always go our way, we have two choices in dealing with the situations. We can focus on the fact that things didn't go how we had hoped they would and let life pass us by, or two, we can make the best out of the situation and know that these are only temporary setbacks and find the lessons that are to be learned.

I love this quote from– Oliver Goldsmith “Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.”  

One aspect of your journey is to confront risks with a view to minimize any negative impact by turning risks into manageable little bite-size chunks or to plan a resolution that sees the risk as an opportunity, as hope, not as despair.
 
Each day you live is not simply a matter of putting in time but it is, instead of putting time towards making life better whether that be to learn more, to contribute to the happiness of others, or to ensure that everyone you come in contact with leaves with feeling a little more positive.
 
 
   
 Life is a journey keep moving 
The world is not full of grief and despair as we view on TV and social media most of the time. It is good in this world that supersedes evil. But, we cannot give in to complacency either. The world needs us to move forward through using our talents for compromise and understanding as much as it needs our abilities to form companies or to make money. You can do both without losing sight of the bigger picture where one contributes daily to help at least one person who is in need of something. This is key to understanding the greater good and making it part of your life.
 
This thing we call life is not a destination with an end but a path down which we continue to journey as long as we can breathe. Life is to be lived not squandered or to give away waiting for the end to close upon us.
few people understand that they have so much to give or contribute to the betterment of all those around them thinking that they have no more to give. It is not that you do not have more to give; it is more that you refuse to give. To be selfish is to cast yourself adrift from all that is good for it is not a sin to be tired but more sin to deem you are tired.



In life's journey, for all the starting place is the cradle and the ending place is the grave. This is common for everyone. Then, what is so special about life as a journey? Each and every journey is unique and no two journeys are alike. Each and every individual embarks In the end, what is left with every individual is the experience of the journey only. Nothing else. Just like in the normal journeys, the fellow passengers may help each to make the journey comfortable and pleasant or make it horrible by disturbing and fighting with each other. Life as a journey has no destination and one will realize that life itself is a journey.

Life is beautiful only when we live life under our influence.
“Note to self: This is your journey, your body, your mind, and your spirit. Dig deep, own it, and start doing things for you and by you.”  

“Day by day we journey to the end! By and by we shall get to the end; when we get to the end, we shall see the end!”


 Life is a journey. When we stop, things don't go right.

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." Charles Dickens

      So true.
      We are not in competition with any one. Every one is on the same Ride but different destination .
      It will be great if we focus more on where we are heading to instead of where Mr/Mrs A is heading too.
