To me, life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will ultimately lead me to my destination, my purpose in life.

The road will not always be smooth, in fact, throughout my travels, I will encounter many challenges.

Some of these challenges will test my courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, I may stumble upon obstacles that will come between the paths that I’m destined to take.

In order to follow the right path, I must overcome these obstacles. Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, only I don’t realize that at the time.

Along my journey I will be confronted with many situations, some will be filled with joy, and some will be filled with heartache.

How I react to what I faced with determines what kind of outcome the rest of my journey through life will be like.

When things don’t always go my way, I have two choices in dealing with the situations.

I can focus on the fact that things didn’t go how I had hoped they would and let life pass me with, or two, I can make the best out of the situation and know that these are only temporary setbacks and find the lessons that are to be learned.
