On any rainy day, we look for the right equipment to help us make the journeys that we have to make; we may also take the opportunity to excuse ourselves from any sort of responsibility that may be such burden under the circumstances. That is just who we are. There are times when we embark on worthwhile journeys and we know the whys and hows and whens only to meet a rainy day and that is when we are to make the decision whether to move on or to excuse ourselves. We may question ourselves why we are making either decision and we may even find a solution but are we right! The temptation to take the easy route or the determination to take the hard route have been used as the yardstick of right and wrong, entire generations have been described by a moment’s decision and yet at the moment they made those decisions, few of them looked into the future to determine where to place their steps.
We question ourselves many times about right and wrong and we make demands of ourselves that we may not even know how to satisfy, but in all our doing we need remind ourselves of why. There are days and moments when we shall have to re-discover a new why and use it to define where we currently stand. Yes, the jungle through which we tread is not dark with red eyed foxes, while it remains a jungle; it is not so hard to walk through. The heart has got to be prepared for the unexpected, but it should not be filled with fear and pessimism because that is the darkness that clouds courage and blurs vision.
This is the journey to which we have been born; each day draws us closer to handing it over to the next generation. And we may never succeed at knowing with complete certainty, what was wrong and what was right, but we shall always remember that even when we were not sure, it paid to give all our best. In the summary of time, we may be judged by what mistakes we made and by how many we avoided or corrected, but we shall always be remembered by how much or less of ourselves we gave, and that is because that is what matters. And we shall all discover that no journey was worthless because when we pursued it , we followed our hearts and we put them into that.
Therefore, we shall live today, as if it were a reward, one that we shall have to carry with all our might and one upon which we shall have to pour the best of our thoughts the best way that we can. And yes we shall leave every regret exactly where we have found it, and march on to the victory that rests on the apex of our fists, our best fists at that. We shall wait for the sun so that it can shine upon our achievements and expose the darkness of misery because that is what it is supposed to do. May the best fist be raised.
