In every walks of life we meet and encountered new friends,new ideas new friends and new dreams. Life is full of excitement and surprises. We may stumble and hurt a million times but we still have the courage to stand up and face life.The more challenges the stronger we become. In each journey we have to make it sure that we use our life with no regrets. We have the freedom to make choices about what kind of person to become,what course of life to pursue,what friendships to form and so on. We love to have a measure of freedom and that is what God wants us to enjoy..:)

Life is a journey, the road are full of happiness and pain. Some people focus on the pain but without seeing sunshine of the road; some other people take the pain as a special experience, they held on to only one thing, happy memory. They just remember every happy singel detail. If we want a wonderful life, we just discard the pain parts, it helps to travel lightly. All depends on our choice.

yeah, you are right. Every single life is a journey. I am still on my journey to somewhere that I didn't know yet. The only problem is, do we have enough courage to walk toward the destination we want to arrive. I am walking toward it, and I just don't have a clue right now, how to get there. Should I go a long way, or a shortcut.

It makes me think of Jack London's "Life is a journey" , it says,"From the hell to the heaven, there's no straight way to home, sometimes up, sometimes down .Hope created a heaven for us, despire makes a hell for us."

I think what you're saying here is true. One of my favorite quotes, from Dorothy Parker, one of my favorite people, is "Take care of the luxuries. The necessities will take care of themselves." All too often, humans get caught up in the need to succeed and excel. Another quote or proverb or something of the sort I heard (and of which I don't know the source) is (paraphrased) you will never hear anyone say my biggest regret is that I didn't spent enough time working. We forget that enjoyment and loving families and friends whose company we cherish are also part of success. Doing the things we love to do is part of being successful. Who is really more successful - a school teacher who sees her family every day, gets to raise her own children, loves her students and her job, and makes $30,000 a year in salary or the owner of a multimillion dollar corporation who travels the world 10 months out of the year, has a nanny to raise the children she spends a handful of hours with each week, and whose only real person to person connection is with her secretary? In my book, it's the teacher, even though society wants us to say the CEO.

Yes, life is definitely a journey. Friends come and go. Some are forever in touch with us but some are not. We are lucky that we have our family, our friends, etc. that will make our lives enjoyable and memorable. We have "ups and downs" but we only need to conquer them. Those problems will just make us tougher for the next combats in our lives. Let's enjoy our lives, every minute of it. We can't go back to the past. May we have good luck in our journey til the end.

Nope. Gog wants us to enjoy life and at the same time do what He had commanded. Both should go alongside on whatever we do. We cannot simply do whatever we want simply because we are enjoying it. There should also be limitations to what we think is fun and enjoyable task. We could never get the best of both worlds without any consequences. I just remember a lyrics of a song "Life's a journey, not a destination" would be a good definition of life to me.

Well I would have to say that its true that the song says "Life is a Highway" because it can give you many twists and turns and bumps. Sometimes you just have to think of it as a marathon rather than a sprint. Today I was trying to think that way because of frustrations. The joys in life are far worth the misery though in my opinion. I did not always think so but now I see things differently. Keep going!

Indeed, life is continuous journey to self-actualization, fulfillment, learning and sharing. We have the sole choice which path or road to travel on, who will we take with us, and how we plan our route. It was never easy, despite how the road looks at the beginning. When we get tired, we can either turn back or move on and have faith that the big guy up there will guide us and see us through. It's all our choice. We make mistakes as we go along, but we can always turn back and renew the right path.
