There are things which shape us - things which hurt us deeply, things which make us happy and bring back fond memories; things of which we know nothing, and things of which we think we know everything.
These things which have shaped us, they give us our character, shape our personality, provide us with our dreams and our trials, they haunt us with nightmares and deliver peace to our minds.
They lead us down a certain path that is our life, and who can know where it will take us and where it will end. If we do our best in all that we do, there is no-one that can ask more of us. Success or failure, we walk our walk through the hills and valleys that are life. Some of us, in the shadows, and some in the sunlight. This is the journey that we call life!
I myself have looked death in the eyes, I have closed my eyes and opened them again to a life a little more broken, but life nonetheless. Death released me, not being ready to receive me at that moment, and so I continue my journey on through life. A walk, a little shaky at first, but becoming more sure as time passes.
Who can say what the end of the journey holds? We walk with hope, with the belief, that all will be well with us. Sometimes our hope dims and grows fainter, but deep down there is the belief that something better lies ahead.
Time will tell the outcome of our journey, and time is our friend and not our enemy, if we use our time well! Let us then, not squander our time here on earth, but spend it wisely and spend it well!
