Cross the Distance

Sometimes in life when you take a step onto a path, perhaps it is a path that is your life, then the journey begins. The moment when a journey begins, it would be adventurous in way with obstacles and wonders to overcome. Of course, it wouldn’t be easy at all to achieve something without having going through the hardship. Nothing is free in the world as everything comes with a price, a price that has to give. Remember when you were young? You used to dream about being somebody when you have grown up? Remember how enthusiast you were? It was like a big dream back then. But as you grow older, things changed and your dream still lives in your heart.

Some people may have carried on with a dream and trying to achieve it, some have achieved those dreams, but unfortunately some have lost those dreams. It must have not been easy chasing dreams, because the very moment when you want something in your life you gotta work hard for it. Then of course, many obstacles would often try to bring you down and tear you off from achieving your dream, these are just tests. With these tests be given by the nature of the world, it is able for you see and realize your determination and focus, sometimes it redefines your weakness as well as your strength. Yet again, many people have always been put to a disbelief that impossible can be possible then for those who have cross the distance they have eventually redefine what is the impossible. It is still many hard works before you know you’re gonna take a step into a journey where you do not know its destination, unless you have set a course. Many dreams have failed, perhaps those may have found something better as fate takes a course into life. But again, it is just a matter of decision where you think what would be best for you as a result.

It is glorious when dream has been caught, it is the best sensational feeling ever that one can experience in a lifetime. Nobody can take such a victory from you, as it is well remembered by many and most of all it is in your heart. Then of course, the long journey where you have taken to reach your dream has been a well-worth learning journey of a lifetime. We may learn a lot actually, as along the road you may see what and how it takes to reach something that is desired by you, whether it is your dream or goal yet again you will learn what it takes to achieve them. Often, we can be weaken by obstacles yet it still lies in the faith of our own to strengthen ourselves. Never give up is one thing, as determination is one of the key components to succeed through the hardship that one can ever experience.

Some dreams may seem impossible, but then the effort and hard work are well given to chase as impossible comes from possible. In the very end, you will always know at least you have tried something in your life where it was once meaningful to you, and perhaps it will always be. There is no harm in trying as it is a mean of learning process where you are able to improve yourself. No doubt, books and lecturers are not able to teach you the value of life but yet it is your own mentor or tutor within yourself are able to do so when you have put yourself onto a journey towards your goal or dream.

Always do something while you still can, as perhaps on a very when you look back you will never regret from the greatness you have seen in yourself. Rewards will always come later when hard work has been spent, neither you nor me will know what the outcome will be. Life, it is interesting and wonderful after all. I found my dream since I was young and it’s been a dream come true journey all along, I am still craving for more. When will I stop? I don’t know as I do what ever I still can to go beyond a distant in my dream, and that is the most beautiful journey of my life. Nothing less or more than a little soul in myself, and a life, with a value that is worth a lifetime to live.
