The Voyage

The Voyage


Life is a voyage full of lessons, trials, heartbreaks, pleasures, celebrations, and unique moments that will eventually bring us to our destination, our life's purpose. The journey will not always be smooth; in fact, we will face several obstacles along the way. Some of these difficulties will put our courage, strengths, flaws, and faith to the test. We may encounter difficulties along the route that will stand in the way of the pathways we are intended to pursue. We must overcome these hurdles in order to continue on the right road. Sometimes these stumbling blocks are actually gifts in disguise, but we don't know it at the time.

Along the way, we will encounter a variety of scenarios, some of which will be joyful and others of which will be heart-breaking. What we do in response to what we are confronted with dictates the course of our lives. When things don't always go our way, we can either dwell on the fact that things did not go as planned and let life pass us by, or make the best of the circumstance, knowing that these are just temporary setbacks, and seek out the lessons to be learnt.

Time and tide wait for no man, and if we allow ourselves to dwell on the negative, we may miss out on some of life's most spectacular experiences. We can't go back in time; all we can do is take the lessons we've learned and the experiences we've obtained and go on. It is the heartbreaks and sufferings that assist to shape us into better people in the end.

The individuals we encounter on our trip are people we were meant to meet. Everyone comes into our lives for a reason, and we don't always understand why until it's too late. They are all involved in some way. Some may stay for a lifetime, while others may only stay for a brief period of time.

People who remain for a short period of time frequently leave a lasting effect not just in our lives, but also in our emotions. Although we may not know it at the time, they will make a difference and impact our life in ways we could never have predicted. It is definitely a blessing to realise that one person may have such a tremendous impact on your life for the rest of your life. It is as a result of these encounters that we learn some of life's most important lessons from these interactions, and occasionally we even discover a little bit about ourselves.

People may come and go throughout our life, but every now and then, we are fortunate to meet that one special person who will remain in our hearts forever. Even if we do not always end up with that person and they do not always stay in our lives for as long as we would like, the lessons we have learned from them and the experiences we have received from meeting that person will last a lifetime.

These are the things that will give us the strength to continue on our path. We know that we can always look back on those times in our history and know that we are who we are because of that one person, and we can recall the great moments we have spent with that person.

Memories are valuable gems that we may keep in our hearts for the rest of our lives. They also allow us to continue on our journey, no matter what life has in store for us. Sometimes all it takes is one particular individual to let us dig inside ourselves and discover a whole new person we had no idea existed. Our eyes are abruptly opened to a world we had no idea existed—a world where time is so valuable, and moments never seem to linger long enough.

People will give you advise and ideas on how to live your life during this trip, but in the end, you must always do what you believe is right. Always follow your heart, and above all, never have regrets. Don't hold back anything. Say what you want to say and do what you want to do, since we don't always have a second opportunity to say or do what we should have done the first time.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, as the saying goes. The term ‘stronger’ to various people, might imply different things. Here it indicates comparing the person you were to the person you have become now. It also entails delving deep into your soul and recognising that the person you are now could not exist without the events of the past or the people you have encountered.

Everything in our lives occurs for a purpose, and sometimes that means we have to go through heartbreak in order to enjoy happiness.
