Life Is a Journey
Life is a Journey

Life is a journey of many trips to many destinations. We are travelers moving from one destination to another: exploring, experiencing, and collecting memories. It does not matter how long your journey has been or how far you have gone. At the end of your journey, all that matters is how much you have experienced and enjoyed. We can't choose where our first destination begins and where it ends, but we do have the freedom to choose which destination to head to next. Don’t waste your freedom; use it wisely to make the right choices. One day you may find that you have mistakenly come to a wrong destination. You can choose to complain and stay miserable or to pack and head to a new destination. You can't restart an old trip, but you can always start a new one that leads you to a brand new destination.

When heading to a new destination, leave behind all the negativities accumulated from previous trips. Only pack with you the good memories along with gratitude, thankfulness, forgiveness, kindness, love, wisdom and hope. Pack lightly and only pack what will empower and not burden your future journey.

Sometimes it may take longer than you have planed to get to your destination, and sometimes you may never even reach it. However, the experience gained during the trip is more valuable than the excitement of reaching that destination.

There may be adventures and surprises on your journey, but be grateful that you have survived. Your journey might be too boring without them.

There may be times when your body becomes so weak that you feel as though you can hardly carry on your journey any more. Then it's time to slow down; your body needs a rest. Listen to your body, listen to what it needs in order to better function, and give it the best conditions to kick off it's powerful self-healing capabilities. Staying healthy is most important in order to enjoy your journey. There may be times when your mind becomes so depressed that

    To go on a journey does not necessarily require one to physically move from one place to another. A journey can happen anywhere, and at any time, even if you are not moving. An inner journey is to transcend above the physical and temporal world into a spiritual realm. This enables one to look at life attentively and be alert to the lessons learnt from experience. ‘Of Eurydice’ by Ivan Lalic, ‘Fax X’ by Gwyneth Lewis, ‘Wind in the Willows’ by Kenneth Graham, ‘The Road Not Taken’ by Robert Frost, ‘The Red Tree’ by Shaun Tan and ‘Baraka’ directed by Ron Fricke are five texts that explore this concept of inner journeys. Collectively they present inner journeys to be inevitable, that they require you to make choices and that they make you ask questions of an ontological nature.…

    The Happiest Refugee

    What choices made will have significant impacts on one’s journey, and will affect their remaining life. Anh from The Happiest Refugee is an example of the nature of choice in one’s journey, as he has to make many decisions. The author uses interior monologue to show what Anh was thinking when he was choosing whether he wanted to be a lawyer or not. He wrote ‘On one hand I wanted to jump for joy; I knew my family would never be poor again…. On the other hand I knew I was going to hate it.’ This shows us the two important aspects when making a choice-its benefits and detriments. The Road Not Taken also illustrates the ‘choice’ nature of journeys. Frost uses symbolism in the quotation ‘Two roads diverged in a yellow wood…. To where it bent into the undergrowth’. The diversion of the two roads represent two possibilities of a choice that the narrator has to make. The path bending into the undergrowth symbolises that the path becomes unclear and unknown. The author also communicates to the reader that . Frost also expresses the importance of choice by saying “I shall be telling this with a sigh….I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference’. Frost uses a slightly sombre tone (the sigh) and a first person perspective to convey that the path he has chosen will have a significant impact on the rest of his…
