LIFE JOURNEY: TRAVELLING IN A CAR

Dear Brothers and sisters,

  Our life is not a destination but a journey,a journey full of leanings and experiences.So here is a simplest way of HOW I describe life.Its pretty much like a how you travel in a car.A car is basically a vehicle that you use to travel from location A to location B.There are many vehicles available for you to travel, example car,bus,taxi,motorbike and etc but its up to you to choose the vehicles.The irony is at any one point of time, you can choose only one vehicle.Same goes to our life..
  Our sole purpose of life is to realize the GOD within us.There are many vehicles available in the world which leads us to self realization and based on my opinion,some of those vehicles are culture,tradition, religion and spiritual practices.End of of the day you have to choose your vehicle towards the path of self realization.So that's an overall view of your life journey but now let to the example.

  Let’s just go through our experience of travelling in a car and how can it resemble our life.When we are on the road,driving our car we will pass by many different people along the road, driving different cars, in different colours and driving in a different speed.These are pretty normal thing, rite ? At the same time, you might also see other things besides cars, such as trees at the road side, the road divider, street lamp and etc.In summary you might see quite alot of things in your day to day journey on the road.
  Sometimes you might get carried away by the cars that other people drive (I do :-), by the clothing that other people wear and many more which will grab your attention but all these are very 'external' factor.Basically if you to pay extra attention to all these external factors its definitely going to disrupt your focus toward your journey.So the main point here is, if  you want to reach your destination on time,safely and soundly,all you have to do is FOCUS on your driving.Correct ???

Same goes to our lives.In our journey of life, I'm sure we will meet many 'different' kind of people.Some might be kind hearted but some might be completely the opposite.What matters the most is whether WE ARE FOCUSED ON DRIVING OUR CAR PROPERLY so that we can reach our destination as planned."CAR" pretty much resembles our life. Taking about other cars,discussing about other drivers,other things which is beyond your control is not going to help you in reaching your destination.

So basically what I would like to share here is not to put too much of focus on others.The moment you start comparing yourself with others, you will no longer enjoy the journey life.Its will be always a 'competition' driven journey and it will somehow block the your creativity as your thoughts are always on someone else than yourself.

Take things as it comes, all you have to do is BE YOURSELF.
