The Race Of Life

As I dressed up to go out this morning, I am once again reminded of how personal and private this race called life is. I got into my car, drove out, and joined the road where other cars are already travelling on. Lesson number 1: We don't all have the same entry point into life.

As I kept driving, I passed some other cars, while other cars passed me.

Lesson number 2: We won't travel through life at the same speed because each car is built differently.

And as I moved on, I caught myself trying to pursue another car in front of me, only to discover that, just as I was about to pass it, it turned off the road into another road.

Lesson number 3: We don't all have the same exit point.

We are all on this journey called life. We will enter at different points and exit at different points, but one thing is for sure; we will all exit this road at one point in time or the other. It may be 10km run THE CREATOR has given you, or it could be 100kms. What is important is that you run your race well.

Your car has side view mirrors and a rear-view mirror. You use both to see the sides and the back of your car respectively. Other cars will be behind you, while others may be beside you for a while. It is dangerous to spend time looking at these mirrors; they will distract you. That is why your car has got a large windshield/screen in front of you. It gives you the biggest view of the potentials in front of you and the resources you are yet to attain.

Don't spend precious time looking at your back to see those who are pursuing you, or looking at your side to see those who are trying to overtake you. Keep your eyes in front of you and stay true to your race. When it is time to exit the road, you would know that you have run your race well and ended well. I pray THE CREATOR, to bless and help you as you run this race called LIFE. Have a Wonderful LIFE.
