Although excitement was soon followed by a struggle, light
and fresh air, a kiss, and warm embrace made us relaxed and calm, for a while.
We are born with a spirit that tries to guide us on this journey.
A few are blessed with a strong sense of what paths are most appropriate for
them. It is as if they could sing along with Billy Joel as he sang My Life. “I don't care what
you say anymore, this is my life. Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone.”
These fortunate people seem to have built into their DNA the ability to hear
and follow their guides.
On the other hand, many of us seem to live in a fog, wondering
if we should take this road or “The Road Not Taken” as suggested by Robert
Frost. When we live in a fog of uncertainty it is because we have pushed the
guide aside so often that it has become discouraged and lingers in recesses of
our mind.
Major trials such as death and illness are reminders that our
journey is not to be taken lightly. We are here for a reason. Whether it is to
enjoy the beauty around us, help others in small or great ways, or use our
gifts and talents in seemingly ordinary ways, does not matter.
If we can hear and follow the voice or guide that is part of our
DNA, our journey will have fewer regrets. We will have completed a journey that
is personally rewarding.
“And in the end, it's not the years in your
life that count. It's the life in your years.”
