Life is a worthwhile journey
If two drivers, one in a Ferrari and other in a Volkswagen Citi Golf set out on a journey to Pretoria without any speed limits on the road . The Ferrari would arrive first but the distance travelled and the destination reached remains the same . It doesn't matter whether you have a starting advantage or not . What matters is that you will travel your life's journey to the end that you envision from this beginning.
Various life seasons will come , you are going to lose close people, gain new friends , be betrayed , betray , be disappointed , disappoint , be hated , hate , love and be loved above all else. The sole advantage of life I learnt, is life itself . If you have life , you can plan again , try again , love again , repent again and dream again .
The reason why you start anything must be the same foundation that you must use to fuel your determination and perseverance. Mostly you need to understand that your life story is unique because you are unique. There has never been this version of yourself. You are the "it" with that "thing" . You have got what it takes to live your life to the fullest but not apart from hardships for that too comes with life. Life itself is a balanced risk with the exciting hypes and the discouraging lows.
A Caterpillar is the start of a butterfly which means getting a grip of your ground is essential for success in anything . When your motive for success streams from a place of love rather than from envy, hatred and bitterness, it will be then that your life will truly be a seasoning aroma to the Almighty God and impactful love to your people.
Your fears are like stop signs . Use them as points of precaution not stagnancy or complanency. Your fears are the drive behind your contingency plan yet they should never be your detour to your comfort zone again .
The mistakes you have made and will make are part of your making and by the way there aren't new mistakes, just old essential lessons for you and everybody who draws courage from your life. Wisdom has always been old yet them that possess and seek to possess it , light up their paths and build a solid shelter for life. Foolishness has always been young, senseless and too much of it will cause your bones to dry to up, lock you up in the cells of wearisome regrets and derive you of enlightenment. Yet I must warn you that a balance between the two is attained by having reverence for the Almighty God in all that you do.
Remember that life is about balance . Don't overwork yourself in your purpose nor over-indulge yourself in your pleasures. Why ? You are here on earth for a reason and for a season . Your grave number is already printed so why not make the most of all the given seasons under the sun ?
