I just became a part of a strenuous physical exercise that left me impacted mentally. It just served as an eye opener and I was home to some useful realities. As I ran my school marathon, amidst the commotion and the chaos, I discovered some great truths of life. As my entire school mostly including excited teenagers ready to run for fun.
As my young friends thronged in large numbers, I noticed how situations changed as the marathon proceeded its course. Friends were separated, new partners made, and while in the beginning, each one held each other’s hand, this scene gradually disappeared. Life’s like that! We meet so many people in the course of our life’s journey, we meet myriad individuals, but when life becomes a big race, we lose out on them. Because everyone wants to reach first to their cherished destinations, so we need to accept the fact that people with us might not be with us in the times to come. But when people lost their partners, they found new ones. There is thus a redeeming hope that we find company, we find new and nice people in the course of our lives.
A number of girls were pushing each other while running; each one trying to overtake each other to vie for the top notch. In the same way, competition, and a constant drive to move forward urges us to move towards crab mentality and the habit of pulling each other down for their own progress. But the ones, who surpass all these forces, are the ones who actually win the race and emerge victorious in the challenging journey of life. There are a thousand obstacles meant to be overcome in order to complete the race. The traffic, the boulders, the bumps and nicks have to be dealt with stoically. That’s the essence of life’s journey.
Many girls were running briskly but were getting easily exhausted. They had the speed but no drive to maintain their speed and energy levels. It’s not just the speed that matters, the stamina does too. One may achieve success fast, but maintaining that success and glory is the real challenge and the one who learns to do it is the real victor. Everyone has speed; few have stamina to move on despite difficulties and challenges.
Girls were falling off, hurting themselves, getting twists in their limbs, but no one ever complained. No one gave up the race or called it quit. No matter how many problems and unpleasant experiences come our way, one has to keep running, and keep moving on until we complete the race, until we just keep going, keep pulsating towards our aspirations and goals.
To sum it up, we can learn so much from life’s experiences and ordeals everyday. Every difficulty can be overcome bravely if we hold on to our pedestals and our values. No matter how much we have to persevere, no matter how many difficulties come our way. Life’s a big race; we all have to run, we all have to complete the finishing line, we all have to be persistent, and learn to keep our spirits going!!
