A long, winding path lies ahead of us, one we've never traveled before. It's weird and unnerving since we have no idea what awaits us there. Will we find sweet flowers or thorns? Only once in our lives do we take that particular route.
Many people find it difficult to make the analogy between life and the road, although the parallels between life and steps are so broad and deep. God designed our feet to allow us to travel throughout our whole lives, from the time we learn to walk to the moment we die. Our lives, both living and walking, were created by God and cannot be paused for a second.
Furthermore, no journey is ever easy...
Our inadvertent and thoughtless stumbles on a rocky road will result in our falling and not being able to get up again if we don't have the strength. To help us along the road as children, our parents' arms were always by our side, warning us where we may fall and urging us to stay away from dangerous places. They also showed us how to go to our destination in the most efficient manner possible, and they comforted us when we fell. Parents, on the other hand, cannot stay by our sides forever.
The drive to establish our independence comes from the wildness of our youth, and we don't want our parents to steer us as we grow up and select our own path. Come with me instead. We move confidently in the direction we've chosen, knowing "we are ready to confront anything" in our minds and hearts.
Many essential lessons are learned from our parents, but the true lesson is always a notion that can't be properly conveyed by any language.
As hard as it is to lose a battle, it's far more agonizing to lose the first one. Things don't go according to plan, what went wrong, why.. why..? We resentfully repeated innumerable inquiries "why" and "no response." In spite of my best efforts, I cannot accept the outcome of failure. We cannot believe in the outcome of failure. We crumble under the weight of our own failures and disappointments.
When we're down, we're entitled to a good weep. To be upset when things go awry is a natural reaction. We have the right to suffer when we experience grief. Even if we give up our aspirations and bury ourselves in misery, we can't halt on the mapquest driving directions
path, sit still and suffer, since others will pass and exceed us, even if they weren't excellent at what they were doing at the time. comparable in strength to me. No one except my own poor self-esteem and humiliation will feel sorry for me, no one will look down on me with contempt but my own eyes.
