A VOYAGE FOR LIFE

Life is a collection of mistakes. Since we are young, we are bound to commit mistakes; we are bound to hurt other people and ourselves.

All of us start from immaturity. Consequently, we grow and we mature. As we go along our way, we experience ups and downs. Sometimes, we are burdened. We encounter one problem after the other. It’s like a chain of trials and hardships. Worst is, the more we grow, the bigger problems get.

Growth is painful; but it is more painful when we resist it.

Fear accompanies hardship. But the only way to beat fear is to face it. Because we are always attracting the learning experiences we need, we often attract the experiences that we fear. Therefore, if we are scared witless of being in debt, chances are we'll get to find out all about it. If we fear loneliness, we'll attract that. If we fear embarrassment, we'll fall on our face. It's life’s way of encouraging us to grow.

When does life get simpler?

It doesn't! But we can learn to handle it better.

Good thing to know that there are people who are willing to share their time with us. Every person who walks into our life is a teacher. Even if they drive us nuts, they teach us because they show us where our limits are. And no matter how we hate them, by the end of the day, we are still thankful that they have passed by our lives.

In this journey called life, we need to stand steadfast and face with all our might the hindrances of our growth. The universe rewards effort, not excuses. Thus, we must learn to plant so that we may sow the good seeds of our effort.

All is but within us. Let us seek our most inward self. Let us not find ourselves in the world. Instead, let us seek for the world within ourselves. Let us always look for a fixed point; something that we know is stable…OURSELVES.

Usually, the best place to have a new start is right where we are!

Life is but a collection of mistakes. We are imperfect. We are bound to commit mistakes. But omnibus of these mistakes is what we call EXPERIENCE – and it is what life is all about.
