Inspirational Words: Life's Journey

In this busy world of ours, very often we can be so busy that we sometimes forget our real purpose regarding our life’s journey. Life isn't a race, life is for living and for enjoying to the full. 

Sometimes in reflective moments we may think to ourselves “Where has the time gone” or other thoughts such as “I can’t believe it has been so many years since I last visited that place”. We may lack confidence that we can achieve certain goals and dreams. Why not say to yourself “I can” rather than say “I cannot” Rather than set your goals too high, set yourself realistic targets. 

We often say as a form of philosophy, that if you can imagine when you are born you are born as a full toilet roll, and as it un-reals it un-reals slowly, representing our childhood years where time seems to stand still. As we progress into this roll and into our lives, we find time moves much quicker, this is one of the examples we like to use. 

The Native American Indians regarded what we call time into seasons. The number of winters represents the number of years that they have lived. If you think that Spring represents you growing up as a child. Then summer represents an adult going out into the world and experiencing life. The elders of the tribe believed that your autumn years was a time to pass on your knowledge and life experiences (each and every one of us has a story to tell). 

In retrospect each and every one of us walks the earth plain and although we may experience the same experiences, we may view it from a different perspective. 

If you think life is for living, and believe there is no such thing as time, then there are no restrictions. By living time and time being your goal you are limiting yourself and possibly putting restrictions on yourself.

Wake up each day looking forward to a new experience, treating every day as special as you are.
