While On The Road
All roads lead to Rome, so it says. It is kinda apt for that to life. That, eventually at the end of the road, I shall return home to where I come from. No matter what I do, while on the road, I will inevitably end up where I started.
Regardless the various routes each man takes, every Man ends up at one destination. Questions that I should ask myself - How do I want to make my destination meaningful? What can I do to make my overall journey pleasant? Where and when should I do a stop over to re-think whether I am travelling right? Do I want to take a break in between to procrastinate?
While on the road, I have to be mindful. I have to embrace life's uncertainties and take a few risks. I want to inject lots of joy. I want to embrace every single beauty of mother nature. I want to respect and be kind to all other 'road users'. These roads that I am travelling on are not exclusively mine. What's mine is the mode I choose to be in.
I want to start giving instead of getting. That, hopefully, I can make the difference while enjoying on the road. I can always give a warm smile, a sincere hello or a positive vibe. My attention, my time, my love and kindness - these are non-exhaustive priceless gestures that I can offer.
While on the road, I might want to shout out loud. I will let the voice inside me to roar without giving a thought who's gonna judge. I have to feel my freedom and be what God wants me to be. I should not fall just because someone is judging me. Judgement is better left to God.
I will never know how long my path 'to Rome' will take. There might be days that I have a straight road. Other days, they can be a little winding. Nonetheless, they should not matter. What matters is that I am home safely.
I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.
