Life is like a journey on a passenger train where many people get into our lives while several disembark. However, there will be few people in our life that will make the whole trip with us, believe in us throughout, accept us for who we are, and continue to support us along the way till we reach our desired destination. No matter what, they will stick with us. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Some will move to another vehicle for a while and come back. Others will go so unnoticed we won’t realize they left their seats! In this long journey of life, the past is a remembrance and the future is uncertain with lots of hopes and expectations. Ultimately, this train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, despair, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.
Every day in life is not the same, each day teaches us a new lesson and presents new hurdles and opportunities. Life also presents us with many surprises, some we can manage by our experience and expertise, but some beyond our control have to be accepted and lived with.
Life gives us many opportunities, some we grab and some we miss. Sometimes an opportunity can mean the difference between an extraordinary life and a mediocre one. Opportunities are the path which we have to conceptualize and make it ours, how big or small that creation will depend on us. Confidence and understanding of opportunity at the right time are the keys that help everyone to maintain the willpower to do anything. Opportunities are everywhere, but the catch is to understand the action to be taken. Once we know to grab this opportunity, it will definitely result in success through our persistent hard work. We might face many challenges in this ride, but turning the obstacles into great triumphs will determine our dedication and commitment towards achieving our goals. In the course, people may be quick to say that things have been easy for us since we got a good opportunity or luck favored us, and only a few will acknowledge the struggles and determination that took us to reach where we are.
Life is a journey with so many options. A world to discover, dreams to chase, goals to reach, and people to meet. This journey may take you down by great storms and bumpy roads but it does not matter, what matters the most is how many times you stand up to continue.
