Just continue the stride, keep on walking, focus and you'll arrive safely in your destination.
I have always been so serious on my Christian walk and have always been wondering on what's on the other side of the road. Am I there yet? Am I near? What's in store for me there the moment I arrive? Should I need to be there? While happily striding towards my destination, I never thought of my walk as a significant factor in my growth rather I have always been anticipating to arrived on my destination no matter what it takes. But as the walking continue I allowed myself to stop for awhile and be distracted or probably amaze with what my eyes can see. Sometimes I bumped into random strangers and then they later on became my friend and tried to be with me along the journey.
Some were there to join me, some were there to make me stop my walk and told me to just enjoy with them and i should be with them in their journey and some were good enough that they wanted me to go and even told me to take one baby step at a time and focus on the walking. I didn't really know what it meant and never did it cross my mind that the journey wasn't about just the journey it's about ME and my determination to finish the walk.
Some strangers would say, You're almost there.
Some would say, you're moving so slow.
Some would even say, you're moving too fast.
Some would say, you're in the wrong track.
Some would say, just stop you're tired.
And the more they shout, the more confuse I got and the more anxious I became. It's not their fault. It's my fault.
This is my walk, not their walk so it's still up to me to listen and get myself into trouble or just follow what my heart truly desires and continue the stride despite the confusion, doubt, tiredness, agony and sometimes distress. Well I should be expecting that to happen because along the journey there will always be people, circumstance, trials and unexpected happening that I can come across but I should not drown myself to all those negative forces that could be one of the reason why I might stop in my walk, lost, move too fast or too slow-----
I can stop for awhile but not forever.
I can walk slow but not too slow.
I can walk fast but not too fast.
What is important is that every stride should be savor, every stride should be enjoyed and every stride should be given importance. I am not here to join a race but rather create the race on my own. I can invite others to join me but not to compete with me. Now, I may have stopped to rest, I may have moved slow or fast but the point is I am continuing walking. I can feel the pain but I will endure till the end. I may stumble and fall but I just have to get back up, dust myself up and move forward. It's not the journey, it's the endurance.
Keep on walking. Just keep on walking.
