Life's Journey

In this life, before we die, just before the final destination, what really matters is the quality of our journey. It's not important to know where are we going, how are we going to get there because with no holds barred, nobody really ever knows what's really going on.

Back to the journey, you see, it's all about applying your treasured asset; your time to what is most meaningful to you. It's more about what you give in than what you get out of it. It's not about the destination as much as it is about having the right spirit in your journey. It is about having passion, not just a drive. If you feel you are compelled to do it, you know, like an obligation then no matter what you achieve, it will never be the same like having a sense of connection with the things you've done which define you.

Goals are naturally designed to be risky. Why? Because a goal is born to be indefinable and difficult that we might not ever reach it, but it's realizable with determination. Questions are; what are you doing here? what are you doing now? think about how you're applying your time this very second.

We may never reach our destination but be sure that the journey is worth making. Enduring fulfillment only comes when you feel you have contributed substantially to your own sense of satisfaction and to the welfare of those around you. Every beginning has an end and instead of being so focused on little things around us, sometimes, all it takes is to listen to other people's stories. With such distractions, we forget about our "destination". No more concerns about where we're heading anymore because there's only space for our thoughts to collect with comfort along the way.

My wish list is at least about 10 miles long. I execute one wish at a time. Perhaps even a lifetime of 5 great people may not complete my wish-list but it's a list that keeps me passionate about life. I will never look back and ask myself what I didn't execute; will look at what I've executed. I usually execute the hard ones first because I enjoy the battle within myself, it does not matter who defeats the other because I'm always a winner in my heart.

Yes, we struggle, we try to fight, we get weak, we get strong but hey, the journey is so worth it. \nThe problem with my generation and the ones after, our life is moving faster, we are so hurried to do this and that and little do we realize that we are so unprepared for anything. One can't expect to just unroll the map of glory. Life is all about exploration; you can't plan, be ready or know what to do when the uncertainties come your way.

It's all about being perceptive, understanding and wise when you have to unravel the events in your life and introduce fresh beginnings with improved endings. Nothing really ends until you end.
