Our lives are made up as a gigantic maze. We enter our first maze at birth, the maze of our childhood. We enter another maze when we start school, the maze of our school life, which gets harder and harder. We intertwine with mazes around us through relationships and friendships. As we grow older, our mazes become more and more complicated. We find pathways, short cuts, options and dead ends. A maze is what life brings us.
Throughout life we find pathways, or opportunity's. Opportunity's bring us new mazes in life. Without opportunity's, life may be dull and uneventful. An opportunity is the colour to a black and white painting. The glow that brings new chances and memories. Through opportunity, you meet new people, learn new things and share new moments. Without pathways like this, life would be slow, and your journey through your maze would be still. Still until you come across a shortcut or a fork in the road. A shortcut is a choice, a choice that can help you for the good or for the bad, depending on which direction you go. When you reach these turns in your life, you must take chance to succeed further. You never know whether turning left or right or going straight, will take you in the wrong direction or if it will push you further towards your future. In our student lives right now, we are being faced with decisions. do we turn right and go to University. Do we turn left and get a Job? Or do we continue going straight for another year? We are being faced with these many decisions and we must take chances in order to move on. No matter what option you choose, there is always a new direction to turn down the road. If we reach a dead end, we must lift our chin up high, turn around and take a pathway. Although dead ends are though, we cannot sit in a rut with no where to go. Moving on and finding our way throughout the path is important. Life must go on in a positive direction.
Although we do not have a map to our puzzle of life, or answers to our questions, fighting through each pathway is the only way we can make our lives better. Cherish each pathway and live through each cornor. We have one pathway so lets make it the greatest it can be. <3

This reminded me of a really simple quote, that I actually just commented on another blog, but it relates here too. It's "What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step." -Antoine De Saint-Exupery
ReplyDeleteIt's like even if you don't feel like doing anything, or you want to give up because it seems too hard; then just take a step.. try to move forward, even little by little Because eventually all the little things add up and you've got a big thing. All of a sudden you're doing something new, and you've found a new path. If you can't decide what road to take, just try one out, bit by bit, and you'll see if you like it or not. And say you don't like it, there's always that other choice. By moving on we gain experiences, and though we might not stick with the first choice we made, it helps us decide what's best later on.
I love this. It's so true. If you stand in one place you will never go anywhere, and the only way we can find the right life for us, we need to venture out into the world. We need to stumble and fall in order to know how to get back up and face every day with the hope that the next day could be the day everything falls into place. Taylor you're an amazing writer!
