Life Journey

Life is a journey. A journey by definition has a beginning and an end, yet such definition does not apply to the life journey. The beginning of our physical existence is birth and the end is death. The beginning of the spiritual life journey is really unknown yet the end of the spiritual life is unknown either. Some people go through life without seeing the choices or their life routes, therefore life is adventurous yet dangerous. Without consciously choosing their routes, they are not aware of where and what are passing them. Some people choose their routes carefully, yet they don't enjoy their experiences. Fear takes over them, since no matter which routes they choose, they will not know where they will be anyway. Some people go through life with a plan, a map, hoping to control the final destination. The truth is, since no one knows what/where the end of the spiritual life is, a plan really does not guarantee the result.

I go through my life journey with no plan, yet with principles. Principles give me solid ground to stand firm and make decisions accordingly, yet still live and experience every adventures along the route I choose. Since the journey is definitely long, a partner to go through my journey with is the greatest asset. All one can experience is enriched by extra perceptions. Luckily, I have found my life partner, and we are living shoulder to shoulder every moment of life without having to alter our principles. We are curious of where and how the end of our journey will be. Who knows, the end might be a new beginning to another wonderful journey or experience.

I believe that our choices define where we arrive at the end of our life journey. There should be no fear!
