Journeys to Remember: Pathways to Rediscover
Life is all about journeys - the personal voyages that we must each take. To meet our goals. Realize our dreams. Fulfill our individual destinies. Successful and victorious journeys may be symbolized by straight and soaring skyways. The challenging and laborious twists and turns of life may be illustrated by winding roads. A difficult transition may be represented by a narrow trail through a dense forest. Whatever the journey - whatever the experience - be assured that there are valuable lessons to be learned that will carry us smoothly and swiftly through the highways and byways of life. - Petron Everyone's Vision
We live life by what we want it to be. We choose our own path. We decided where to go. We fulfill things we desire. It is our own destiny we are chasing to. We chase our dreams, ambitions and life desires. But, have we ever discover the foremost importance of life? Or shall I ask, have we truly internalize some experiences that life had given to us, the lessons that made us realize something? Something that is unique and helpful to human existence. Maybe at this point in time, you haven't really get my point. But I just hoped and wished, at the end of the day, at the end of every journey we may passed through, that each and everyone of us could entirely see the whole picture of life. I can, perhaps, say this now that life is not what you get but it's how you make a difference by not gaining monetarily but with things which will put you at peace. Stability may be one of the factors that will bring you into life of actualization. However, this is not the main factor that could really place you to a life that we are dreaming. It is, maybe, how you accept life, being receptive to whatever pressures or stress may come. Life is full of potentials as human as we are. We, also, are full of potentials. Life may get unpredictable as we become. We really don't what's ahead on us. We just have to stay on track and focus our mind to our life purpose. And this purpose is not about gaining money and world's treasure but the realization of human values and importance of being a human.
