Walk to life is a forward step lest we trip and never arrive.
I have known too many whose story has been tangled and laced with unwelcome, painful and daunting events causing physical and emotional drought.
I have known too many who in spite of it all kept their foot forward and choose to grab a strength one or two from within and from a source of inspiration, not letting the past drown and pull them down the grave of the what-have-been and the cling of anxiety of the what-ifs.
In mustering that every ounce of strength, both physical and emotional; finding that inner faith and self respect; looking forward instead; finding the plus and taking the past rather as a challenge to be a better person with caring steps in laying the bricks of rebirth and rebuilt … just like the masonry man … one brick at a time lest the entire wall is doomed to fall, hard and flat; … they came victorious.
Undeniably, life is a kaleidoscope of fortunes, misfortunes and missed-fortunes. That’s why life is worth living. Pain, misfortune, sorrow, laughter and celebrations … no man has passed. Even the Book never promised an easy and perfect life. Indeed, the measure of a man and a fulfilled life is how one kept his head, stepped forward and climbed arriving at the peak of being.
It is a journey. Rebirth and rebuilding has no shortcuts. It is always laying the bricks one brick at a time … after curing the plaster of support is completely done. It is impatience and pride that often build the house in the sand.
Life is a journey forward. The only reality is now and towards ….
