yes I know, we've heard this line over and over again "life is a journey", but have we really fathomed the real meaning of this old, worn out, overly quoted life is a journey thing?
I have been around for about 36 years now and over the years I have found this statement to be true, of course to some, 36 years isn't quite an authority yet to say a lot of things about life, well maybe? but my life story compels me to believe that "experience is the best teacher".
do i say this to implement that i understand everything about life? of course not. what I'm saying is that, we experience life first hand, and most of the time we face different hardships, difficult situations, different challenges, and if you're smart enough you will realize that everyday is a learning experience.
I'm always fascinated with how our bodies are designed. when we work our bodies out in the gym, we literally put our bodies into beating, but it's so amazing how it reacts, it develops itself muscles, it understands survival, it is making itself ready for the next attack, it says "bring it on"!
In this life's journey, we are our own tool. we can never say to anyone, let me borrow your experience i need it with what I'm facing now; or say let me borrow your intellect; or your courage or your strength.
life will never go easy on anyone, life is tough and that is a reality we can never change.
there is however something we can change, our outlook in life, that life is a journey and not a destiny.
in the dictionary one of the definitions of journey is traveling from one place to another. In life's journey, I do believe that it's traveling from ignorance to becoming wise; feeble to able; blunt to becoming the sharpest tool ever there is, because life is a journey.

Hi uncle jan..I like the article and it's absolutely true that life is a journey. There's no such thing as fate but life is governed by the choices we made. I agree also that life is tough.We face different experiences and at times we are confronted with situations that are too difficult to understand and it seems like that the Lord doesn't care at all.......only to find out that He sometimes does not change the situation coz He's more concern of our character and changing our way of dealing with the ordeals that come our way. There's just one thing that I'd like to point out also...though "experience is the best teacher", at times we don't have to do the same mistakes that others have done for us to learn the same thing. True it's good to learn first hand from your own experience but isn't it wise to learn from others experience.........?Nice au ang article kol.
Life indeed is beautiful. Just have to seize each moment of it.
Keep it up kol. God bless u, tamai and gabby!!!

Keep it up... more blessings to you, mayling and gabby... Bayen
Journeying is exciting!..You will not only see beautiful things around but experience new,as well. As we travel,we will passed many difficult @ unfamiliar roads.So many holes @ blind curves.Journey is adventorous!
But in my travel,i can say that i've taken the most beautiful way @ passed already
the most difficult one in life.And in this
troubled world,it is very important that we can find a companion who can drive us and bring us to our destiny safely.He who can hold the brake when emergency.
Our journey, the one we called "LIFE" does have a hopeful destination.And the goodnews of the gospel tells us that walking with JESUS takes us there.
Ang importante nga wala lang ta nag santilmo aning kalibutana!!! Hhahaahaah!
God bless Jan!!!
