THE JOURNEY OF LIFE

Life itself is a process. It is not an end in itself. It is a journey. It is not just a journey but also a journey of experiences. It is not a destination. It is an attitude. Many pass through this life without learning. When you think you already know that is when you are just beginning to learn.

The day you stop learning you start dying. If all men will go through life with their eyes, ears, minds, and hearts opened, we will leave this world better than the way we met it. Such eyes, ears, minds, and hearts should be opened to observe, see, hear, think and ponder so as to learn. Life is full of lessons and it is imperative to always learn to draw inferences from the lessons of life so as to better ones lot in life in his short stay on earth.

Failure is not final: it is learning in itself. Embedded in the womb of failure are lessons, keys and clues for success, progress, enhancement and advancement. How hidden and unknown they may seem? But the diligent seeker, the prudent and keen observer who is willing to learn will at the end not only learn a lesson but will also find himself unraveling the mystery of life’s failure and success. He will not only learn to succeed but will also be able to transform failure to a success story and become an instructor to others. The story we tell today is the history and experiences of someone yesterday.

The journey of life is measured not by time but by steps. Life’s success is not a dividend of a long life span. It is a result of excellent initiatives and worthy steps taken carefully with constructive actions and innovations employed faithfully and maximally.

Although spontaneity is a consideration in the steps of life toward success but to have a colossal success and be a colossus in the height of life, calculative steps taken accurately must be embraced.

Event is the mother of challenges that give birth to unequalled success. Indecision is the bedrock of failure, stagnancy and non-achievement.

Many refused to learn in the journey of life and had their soul pierced as with a hurtful sword. As you go on in the journey of life open your eyes for the keen observer will not repeat the mistake of yesterday.

Sometime we do not really know what we have until we do not have it anymore.
