Life is Like a Big Bicycle Race

Life is like a big bicycle race--the aim being to fulfil our personal legend.

At the outset we are all together, sharing camaraderie and enthusiasm. But as the race develops, the initial happiness gives way to the real challenges: fatigue, monotony, doubts as to own ability.

We notice that some friends give up the challenge--they are still in the race, bit only because they cannot stop in the middle of the road; there are many of them, they pedal alongside the support car, talk to one another, and fulfil their duty.

We end up distancing ourselves from them, and then we are obliged to face loneliness, surprises at unknown bends in the road, problems with the bike. And after sometime we begin to wonder if it's worth all the effort.

Yes, it's worth it. Just don't give up
