Life is a remarkable journey that takes us up and down a road of happiness, growth, interaction, love, fear and sometimes pain and hardship, which comes with all the good we are blessed with. Everyone has their own journey, yet we all experience the same emotions and struggles that are synonymous with life. Our journey will begin with our cry at birth and end with our last breath at death.From birth to death we are always experiencing sensations from the world we live in. We are nurtured, loved, taught and grow, through every good and bad we encounter. Every stage of our life prepares us for the next. We learn to be social beings by interacting with everyone who crosses our path. We learn about each other through communication, intellect and emotion.
As we travel along our own road we remember people who were once an important part of our lives. We may not see these people anymore but, they will always be thought of on our journey of discovery. They will be tucked away in our minds and hearts. Relatives, old friends, teachers and mentors have aided us in our development and also helped us along this remarkable journey of existence. They created our foundation of growth and have contributed to who we are.
We hit milestones as babies and prepare for many years of school and learning. We sometimes move from one house to another, date different people, travel or stay local. As we age and our body goes through the many transformations from birth to death we can visually observe these changes that take place in our lives. We start out vulnerable and dependent and, before the journey is completed we can easily end up vulnerable and dependent once again as we age, and it becomes harder to do the same things we once did.. The road sems to come full circle as we become elderly and in need of assistance once again like we did as infants.
We work hard to accomplish our goals and discipline ourselves to be productive people who can make a difference in this wonderful world we live in. We start out learning from others and if we are lucky enough, down the road we can teach others the information we obtained, as we pass through certain stages of development. We go from student to teacher as we start learning from others and then with knowledge behind us we can begin to give advice and help others from the experiences we obtained.
We should not rush through our journey, because, every stage along the way can never be taken back. We will not physcially pass through again. We need to continue forward as life does not give us a do over. Life is short and as we look back, it seems like it was yesterday, when it very well may have been many years, that we were in a particular place, at a particular time, feeling a certain emotion. The destination is not the goal. Although those of us who believe in a heaven should prepare and be good people on earth to obtain the final glory of peace and tranquility with our God. But, as we live our lives we should always take time traveling along our journey. We should remember all the goodness and experiences that crossed our path and realize each stop along the way is part of the whole picture. The complete snapshot of our lives.
Life is a continuous journey of wonderful experiences that shape us. We should always embrace our joys and sorrows, knowing that it is all part of where we are going and who we are. The happiness that we feel, and the many emotions we have will take us up and down this magnificent road of beauty, love, peace, joy and loss that is all truly part of life`s journey. Every step along the way should be savored, understood and enjoyed as it is meant to be in order to make this unique remarkable journey complete.
