Life is a journey and every terrain we traverse through has its own beauty . Most of us are bad travellers, always complaining either about the vehicle, the roads, the weather, or are so busy squabbling with our fellow travellers and so we completely miss out on the beauty of every moment.
I'm sure you all agree with me when I say that children and adults with a sense of adventure are the only two classes of people who truly enjoy journeys. Why do we lose our sense of awe and excitement; our sense of irreverence when we grow into adulthood? I know why. We get weighed down because we delude ourselves into believing that we are carrying the world on our shoulders.
Drop your burden, lighten up, make time for things you love to do. Stop and take a break when you are tired. Don't be pessimistic, focussing on just the innumerable breakdowns and puncture stops, you've made so far. Shift focus and think of the picturesque views, the picnic spots, the wonderful people and the beautiful times you've had so far.
It's a short journey. Wake up, hum along with your car stereo and please don't miss the view.
