Journey Of Life

The Journey taken without shortcuts,
is a journey worth while
for there are no shortcuts,
to any place at the end of your journey.

The final destination does not matter,
but the Journey you’ve taken does
For at the destination,
you will have learnt everything

You will accomplish things
On the Journey to it, however,
you learn many things,
and accomplish much.

On the Journey, you learn
You learn that,
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey,
but spiritual beings on a human journey

So travel hard,
and travel wisely
Choose your companions
and leave everything behind.

Never look back,
always move forward.
For Yesterday is history,
and history is miles away

But never forget anything either,
learn all that you can,
and treasure the good times.
Then this Journey will be like no other





This is the Journey of life
Our life here on Earth
so don't take shortcuts.

This Journey won't be easy,
but you have a guide.
The guide will never leave your side,
and he will carry you through the rough terrain.

He loves you more than you will ever know,
and he gave you this Journey,
so travel it while holding his hand.
You are not alone.

So again,
never look back,
but don't forget either,
and don't stop.

Don't take any shortcuts,
run the whole race.
You are not alone
on this Journey,
the Journey of life.
