LIFE JOURNEY

WHAT IS A JOURNEY? Guys, when we hear the word journey the first thought we come across is either tour or some sort of trip. Journey is the act of travelling from one place to another, from one destination to another not only that but life is also a journey this is the journey from the time we are born till the time we depart from this world. Life journey has definitely not been easier for most of us e.g when we want to travel we look at a lot of places including the best options, good facilities and a lot of good things regarding a certain place and where we can enjoy but in life a lot of times things get so complicated that we don’t have a lot of options we have to select the one and only option which we never wanted to, and we have to walk by that due to being helpless.  To talk about life journey, ask yourself how has life been treating you till today? If you ask me I will definitely say hard and not very easy and probably a lot of people will agree to this fact, have we ever found ourselves crying and feeling down or low wondering why life is really hard and why only with “ME?” You’re definitely not alone.  If you ask me at times I am definitely in that group of why only with “ME,” but to be honest for me life was not easy in the year 2021 and probably till today, I had to shift to Dar e salaam in the mid-year around April/May and to get settled in this busy city was kind of hard, to get admission in the mid-year, to cope up in school with my studies, to adjust here, and the way people live was not easy it took me months and finally at last I was on the same line with people, at first I was left behind, but I tried my level best, and I came up nicely and now by the grace of the Almighty God I am doing well, and it’s my last year too for O-levels (FORM 4) so one thing I learned throughout my journey is never say I can’t, always say I can, and I will no matter how difficult it is to achieve that thing but don’t ever give up because giving up is easy but trying to achieve the thing, working hard for it when everyone else would understand you fell apart, that’s the true strength.  Life is not easy, not for all of us at least, but what is the reason behind that we think life is so hard as well?  At this time we all have been busy fighting and balancing between our professional and personal life, we are the one making our life hard, through our difficult decisions and by being so hard on ourselves.  We tend to be so hard on ourselves at times that we feel this journey of life is a burden to us, and we can’t take it anymore and some of us who are mentally and psychologically weak think of different way of ending this journey and leaving it in the midway and that is through ending their lives “SUICIDE,” dying is not an option to face problems, but it is just a way of escaping from the problems and a person who fears and tries to escape from problems by running away is a coward person because, “Anyone can run away it's super easy, facing problems and working through them that’s what makes you strong.”  But also for those who keep a lot of things inside themselves, who never share with anyone tend to suffer daily and at last this pain within themselves reaches to that extent that they have no choice but to select the dying option.  “THERE IS NO GREATER AGONY THAN BEARING AN UNTOLD STORY INSIDE YOU.”  When we have a lot of things going on inside ourselves and never shared out with anyone it creates a load within ourselves and gives us immense pain, hence always try and share out things with others including your close ones or find yourself a way in which you can actually express yourself in various ways like either writing, singing or art work and many other things and definitely through such ways we will be able to overcome and release out the pain.  Next is learn to find happiness in small things, At the time being if a person loses a small challenge or competition or fails an exam or test they take it so seriously and others punish themselves too, to the fact that we should learn from this loss and be more prepared in future, but we start punishing ourselves in small things, we should try and be happy and be kind to ourselves so we can be kind to others and also always think positive that at least we tried our level best though we didn’t win, but we learned something new in this process of life, we explored and discovered something new.  Life is a journey, travel it well. Make most of it, enjoy and explore things and learn new things in every stage you pass through and in this process if you find happiness then that’s it you travelled it well.  “A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP.” Everyone cannot be travelling the same path or way, every individual’s journey is different and to reach to a high level of life we need to take steps carefully, and we will do so by beginning with a single step or move towards this journey, so we can reach our final destination and in this process we will face a lot of obstacles, but we are not supposed to give up easily we need to be brave and fight against it and for that we need to actually put a lot of efforts and hard work and learn to accept failures and move ahead and find joy in everything because sometimes we become so focused on the finish line that we fail to find joy in the journey e.g most of us in social media or any other place when we see people living their lives we think there are so lucky they have the best life but its not like that no one has the perfect life everyone is facing issues some maybe minor while some major so never compare yours journey with anyone else.  At last:

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it.

Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.  In this process and journey of life it is all about being you and yourself, don’t let someone sit on the driving seat of your life and control it, learn to control your life by yourself and at last enjoy every moment of it, appreciate it, and definitely it will be a success.  DEAR PEOPLE LETS TRY AND LIVE THE REST OF THE JOURNEY OF LIFE BY BEING HAPPY AND FACE IT BRAVELY AND BE COURAGEOUS AND NOT ACCEPT DEFEAT EASILY OR GIVE UP.
