Life Journey

Life is said to be the university we never stop attending. But this is a different kind of university.

The tests are given right away. The results are determined by our responses to each of them. After that, the lesson is given.

If there are things about the life journey that I learned so far, here are they:

1. Life is meant to be treated as an adventure.

Each one of us has our own story. And for our lives to be made into an adventure, we ought to know our purpose in life so that we can really see it as a journey. Once we know it, we learn to accept it and yield it. From there, we act on it until the day we fulfill it.

2. Life can give us the blessings we can get.

Blessings are the opportunities we have a chance to grab as we go through in life. If we can take all we can get, our journey can be fulfilling. And let us be contented on whatever blessings are given to us. For if we take for too much or too little of them, it is not good.

3. We are to be cautious with the enemies.

The journey is not a walk in the park. There are obstacles along the way, like deceits and direct attacks. We have to be vigilant if we know that these things approach us.

4. There are things we need to leave behind before we start the adventure.
Our lives won't be directed into an adventure if we don't let go of the heavy things we carry inside: the excess baggage and the filthy garbage. Not only are these needed to be left behind in us, but also to be killed and to be burned. We can't go on if we continue to bring with them along.

5. You still create value despite your flaws.

There are times that people judge us through our mistakes or weaknesses. But despite this, we have our strengths. And from there, we can be used as an inspiration to others who may go through the same as we do. We are not perfect people, but we can do something great and significant.

6. You have a point in your life where legacy is concerned.

We will be reaching into a point in time where legacy is the main thing. So it is our drive to be at our best to ourselves and to the people around us. This is where we think of what we need to impart to future generations.

I know life won't be easy. There are things along the way that push us down. But we can get back up with the people who are with us on the journey. The journey can't be taken alone. For the power of many can stand through anything that comes our way.

I don't fully know my adventure yet. But whatever that is, I'm determined to finish it well and finish strong until the end.
