LIFE IS A JOURNEY

Life is a Journey
All of life is a journey which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there.” Life is a long journey, which has to be travelled by every existing life form. Some journey is short span while some are too extensive. In this journey, we have to get ahead of from several phases. We may come across many hurdles. It’s not always a bed of roses. You will find thorns on the way. Some are venomous, which can take life.


A great personality said this “Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming.” We meet many travellers in the track of our journey. Everyone has his or her own destiny. Some voyagers choose their destiny with their co-travellers and walk with them hand-in-hand to a certain distance showing beautiful dreams and creating an unbreakable attachment. Only few stand to their word, but most of them are so selfish that they utilize for their selfishness and finally leave them in the midst of a storm. This phase of life is too harsh. Then there is only loneliness and memories which kills us every minute. You feel as though you have lost your way and your destiny. Life seems to be aimless and the journey more tiring and difficult, as you has to live a lifeless life. The memories and loneliness keeps haunting you until your death.

In the journey of Life, we meet to make memories, we part to preserve them. We may meet many travellers extending hands to make our journey smooth. But we are in a dilemma “whether to trust or not?” This becomes the biggest issue. But the journey continues until we get the call from God.

“Life is a journey, what a journey it is?
No one understood it, No one know it.”
