LIFE IS A JOURNEY NOT A RACE

Fele

Traveller, You are the only one, it's only you, am the only one on this journey of life. Just like yesterday, you were born into this world, I was born into this world no one was with you and me right from the cradle, hope you didn't forget it's only you just like yesterday your parent gave birth to you, even if you are a twin you did not come down at once one has to wait for the other, I said it's only you. 

You'll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Life is a journey. How often have you heard that?

As we find our road through life, we all need inspiration and guidance. And this is never so true as when we are travelling on the journey of life, especially the solo travellers. 

This can come from many sources: and friends, family, self-help books. But sometimes, a simple quote about life inspired inspiration or makes us view our path through a different lens. Let me share some life quotes to support this write-up.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away. – Maya Angelou 

You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. – C.S. Lewis 

Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone’s hand is the beginning of a journey. – Vera Nazarian

The beginning is usually scary and the ending is usually sad, but it’s everything in between that makes it all worth living. – Bob Marley

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. The journey is never-ending. There's always gonna be growth, improvement, adversity; you just gotta take it all in and do what's right, continue to grow, continue to live in the moment. Sometimes it's the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination. 

Life is a journey, enjoy the trip. Aim for the sky, but move slowly, enjoying every step along the way. It is all those little steps that make the journey complete. The journey is a reward. 

ONLY YOU CAN BRING OUT THE REAL GREATNESS IN YOU 

Believing in yourself and your abilities is essential to make things happen for you and to be great in life. Being great is not about ego or selfishness. The path to greatness consists of having a strong and genuine desire, a good purpose, and also having good company along the way--people who will help you endure as you walk through life for greatness isn't a one-time effort, it's a lifelong habit. Here are a few quotes on greatness. 

"Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them." -- William Shakespeare. 

 "A great person affects the mind of their generation" -- Benjamin Disraeli

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the great make you feel that you, too, can become great." -- Mark Twain

 “Creativity means believing you have greatness.” -- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. 

Anything you can do or create means you are born great and it's only you that can journey yourself to that greatness because you came alone and you will go alone.

Life comes at us fast, and it can be easy to fall for the idea that it is, in fact, a race, But as I introspect on life and its meaning I believe it's a journey and you get to choose either you're journey to greatness or your race to greatness.
