Our Journey in Life
Let’s talk about our journey in life….. There are a few things that we can not change in our life, the start. Yep when we are born…… and the day that we cecese to be on this earth.
What we can change is the between !
We often hear how people become multi millionaires from living in a poor upbringing, or Doctors from the war torn city. I know a runner who was given a chance to run an Ultra Marathon who just collected junk on the streets of India. Sure sometimes these people are given a hand. However I believe that it is down to the person wanting it, wanting to get out of a situation in life. I can relate to this with events in my life, when you get kicked down. I go I show you “I can do something” Prove you WRONG. With me if someone says “you will never do it”, “it’s impossible” “nah not in the slimmest of chances”. mate”
What does this do in my mind? Well you see, I can run 250k in the Sahara, I can run at 5,300m yes I can run 323K and yes I can perform on stage or get that job…..
These are triggers that fire off, not anger, although it can feel like that in away but more drive and passion that pumps us to do something to push us on in life.
In life we can not define the course that we sail, I also believe that our course is not all hap hazard wishy washie. we do shape it, every second of the day we make a decision that can shape the way in which we set our course.
I think of life as a sailing ship, me big old 3 masted Schooner like the Sir Winston Churchill I sailed on in 1991. She is a tough ship, goes through Storm Force 10 well, very social that has had many people crew on her….. I sailed on Sir Winston Churchill 5 times in the 90’s.
So you start off thinking that you head off being this person in life, doing this job, studying this subject at University when later down the track you are doing something completely different, and the course you have sailed has changed many times and now you are sailing in calm waters on a different direction to what you ever thought.
On this course that you are sailing you might end up in a dry dock having a break, this stoppage maybe planned and it maybe unplanned, somethings you can not plan for, but that kicker, passion to continue on your course kicks in and you go “Hey its all good” I have raised the main sail and we are on our way again…..
How is your course in life going
