Lessons... Destinations...

This is my second post... I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but I have an urge to write, write, and keep writing. It is a way for me to speak from the heart what I am feeling. It's weird, but true...

Quotes are amazing to me! I love to see in one sentence or two the meaning on life. There are many different topics of course! Yet, the topics move me in one way or another. Love, motivation, life, or anything else allow me to look at life through a different lens.

Here is one quote that I love!

-The road in life has twists and turns, and no two directions are ever the same, yet, our lessons come from the journey, not the destination...

It is so true! Our lessons come from the journey of life, the way that we think and our behavior during the time that we are planning to reach our destination. It is amazing, but true!!

Think about the way you learn things through an experience. You learn those things not because of the destination, but because of the experiences you are getting in reaching your destination.

On a personal note, I will be traveling to Israel in one month. I don't know what my destination will be, but my lessons will come from volunteer work in a coexistence track between Arab Israelis and Jews Israelis. My lessons of understanding and hope will come through working with those Israelis. I don't know what my "destination"will be, I guess the destination comes through the experiences that one lives.  Maybe, just maybe, our experiences are all linked to one another in the end and we are connected to find together our destination.

Just the Way Life Is...

Sometimes we may feel alone, sad, depressed... Is it normal? At the time, we might think it is not! But it's a matter of realizing what one has to come out of this state. 



"Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself." W.C Doanne


We need to leap forward, turn every handle on every door. This is the only way we will discover what is what we really want...
