The Mystery Of Life

Your life is a journey that is progressive and continuous. It is going forward and never returning back. You may be in a particular geographical location for many years. The fact that you remain in that location does not mean that you are not progressively moving ahead. You may think that you are still the same person but every second something new happens to you and it’s just a matter of time that you will realize how important these seconds are in reality the totality of life.

Too many times we waste away precious opportunities to keep faith with the progress of life and tend to relax that everything is going to be alright but the reality seem to constantly knock our heads hard and keep us lost or confused. As I reflect about the mystery of life today, I discovered that life is a one life forward movement that must be carefully handled yet risking all to engage in. Too many times we sit on our fences and deliberate the consequences of what life entails as a whole without understanding that the sooner we get going the better for us.

However, I dare to tell you that you cannot achieve any meaningful result without having a blue print as to where you are heading to. Though the journey of life is progressive and continuous, you need a compass to guide you through your true north so that you hit your target. And that true north is called purpose, vision, mission of life. If you have a purpose you will achieve something tangible. If you have a vision you will go for the only real deal in your life and not just from your lane into other people’s lanes.  If you have a mission you will be resolute to live by your mission and that way you make the most out of every activity that comes your way.

Here is an illustration of how life is: you set out to embark on a journey from the southern part of your country to the north. You have a brand new car and full tank of fuel so that you do not stop anywhere until you reach your destination. The only condition you have is that you cannot turn back because the fuel will run dry and you cannot get to your destination. You also have a special road that was constructed for you to follow. Anything that happens along the way is going to be part of your experience and a story to tell but you cannot undo the past, you just have to keep moving. What will you do to maximize the best of your journey so that you don’t get distracted along the way? Remember that over speeding could also lead to accident and under speeding will lead to late arrival. What will you do? Don’t also forget that other drivers may challenge you to compete with them as you journey along the road. What will you do?

That is how life is. Many people forget that they have a lane designed for them alone to travel through and they end up following other people’s lanes and doing what others are doing. Wrong. Follow your own path and do the right thing now because you may regret the time you waste today. Get busy doing your own work so that your life will be meaningful in the final analysis.
