Life Is A Highway


The road of life is full of surprises...

You run into roadblocks and obstacles that cause you to detour, and yet that same road leads you to breathtakingly beautiful sceneries. You come into contact with other travelers, some making lasting impressions. At times you may hit a pothole or run over a nail causing you to get a flat tire. Other times you get to blast your favorite song through the speakers and feel the soothing breeze of the wind in your hair.

Certain days you are able to drive fast. Others you have to drive slow. You'll drive through mountains and hills. You will drive through plenty of valleys also. You will experience lots of sunshine and good weather. You will experience the bad as well; hard rains, strong winds and heavy storms.

Some days you'll have an open road all to yourself. Other days, you'll get stuck in traffic to the point you'll want to pull your hair out. You make a mistake every now and then and your consequence is getting pulled over. And on occasion you may even have a wreck; some caused by your own actions and other times due to circumstances beyond your control.

All of these instances (the good and yes, the bad) that occur on the highway of life help to create the person you are today and shape the future-you into who you will become.

So what are you waiting for?!

Stick the key in the ignition.
Start the car.
Switch from Neutral to Drive.
And choose YOUR direction.

It's your vehicle.
It's your journey.
The road is open.
Your possibilities are endless.
Go wherever your heart desires!

Captive

Picture this... You sit in a locked prison cell, isolated. It's just you; no friends or family reside. You've been here so long, it's basically all you now know. It's home. One day, you hear footsteps walking towards your cell. They pause in front of your prison door. You hear what sounds like a set of keys jingling in their hands. Then a loud click rings through your ears, one that a lock makes as it becomes unlatched. The door swings open. The light from outside starts to engulf every inch of darkness that surrounds you. You cover your face because of your eyes' sensitivity to the brightness. Though you cannot see, you hear a man's voice as he says, "You're free. Go." Several seconds pass in silence. You don't move. Nothing happens. So he asks, "What's wrong? Don't you want to leave? Here's your chance." Although you don't possess much in your cell, you look around at what you do have... A pillow your ...

No Gifts

This holiday season, I want nothing. "Shame on you! Where is your Holiday spirit?" Before judgements pass, let me explain myself a little bit so that you can see where I'm coming from. First of all, I'm not angry. Nobody hurt my feelings. No one has me upset. And despite what some of you out there might think, I'm not trying to be a Scrooge in any way. This isn't my attempt to wage a war on Christmas, even if the media tries to convince our entire country of this so-called attack every single December. Last year it was Starbucks and their holiday cups and the year before that I believe it was Target. Heck, this year media platforms may even try to attack McDonald's because of their ball pit. I mean come on, it is a direct mockery of tree ornaments, am I right? Not wanting gifts doesn't stem from having a lack of money or a case of just me being broke . Thankfully, I still have enough in the bank to purchase new items for each of my family ...

Why Wait?

"One day: 2 of the most dangerous words in the English language." - Joshua F. Millburn You pretend you are invincible. You live as if there's a tomorrow. You procrastinate. You postpone. You take almost every aspect of your life for granted on an daily basis. You lie to yourself using phrases like "someday", "one day" and "later on". Why? Nothing in this life is promised to us. Nothing is permanent. And all three of those terms above represent an illusion of the future that is non-existent. You think time is on your side? You think he's your best friend? Well, I am sorry to break it to you... Time has NO friends. Zero. Zilch. Your past is nothing but memories. Your future is only a dream. Both exist soley in your brain. The present, the here and now, this very moment is all you have. Once you face that reality and fully embrace it, you then come to the realization that every single breath is nothing short of extraordinary...
