Life is a journey

Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations, and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination. The road will not always be smooth; in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges.

Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these challenges which may be really blessings in disguise.

Along our journey we will be confronted with many situations, some will be filled with joy, and some will be filled with heartache. How we react to what we are faced with determines what kind of outcome the rest of our journey through life will be like.

When things don’t always go our way, we have two choices in dealing with the situations.
• We can focus on the fact that things didn’t go how we had hoped they would and let life pass us by, or
• We can make the best out of the situation and know that these are only temporary setbacks and find the lessons that are to be learned.

The people that we meet on our journey, are people that we are destined to meet. Everybody comes into our lives for some reason or another and we don’t always know their purpose until it is too late. They all play some kind of role. Some may stay for a lifetime, others may only stay for a short while.

It is often the people who stay for only a short time that end up making a lasting impression not only in our lives but in our hearts as well. Although we may not realize it at the time, they will make a difference and change our lives in a way we never could imagine.

Throughout this journey, people will give you advice and insights on how to live your life but when it all comes down to it, you must always do what you feel is right.

Always follow your heart, and most importantly never have any regrets. Don’t hold anything back. Say what you want to say, and do what you want to do, because sometimes we don’t get a second chance to say or do what we should have the first time around.

Everything that happens in our life happens for a reason and sometimes that means we must face heartaches in order to experience joy.

When I find the faith, new doors, and opportunities open for me.
