Life's Journey
Every road in life has curves, bends, bumps, and hills.
Although we choose our path,
We might not acquire insight or knowledge
From the paths we have chosen.
When we travel, we want our roads to be straight,
With little or no bumps to disturb our smooth ride.
But, life offers little in the way of guarantee's.
With each bump we learn more about how strong we can become.
How weak we really are.
Each turn uncovers a beauty and the ugly realization that,
We are not in control of the roads which lay ahead.
Measure how far you have gone not by age,
But by the knowledge you have achieved during your travels.
Look back upon the roads on which you have traveled,
Not to find fault but in search for what went right on your road.
Embrace your triumph's.
Accept your defeats.
Shed your doubt and despair
Replace them with realistic goals that are attainable.
Stop reaching for the stars,
When beauty surrounds you on the road which you have chosen to travel.
Stop.
Drink in the sight's
Listen.
At times even silence makes a wondrous sound.
