Everyone of us must have dreams to achieve, from a big dream to the simplest one. I try to imagine my life is like a long straight road, with intersections and places to stop along the way. There are good places, and there are also not-good places.
While I’m going through the journey, sometimes I stop along the way, to take some rest, or to fill some needs (in normal journey this could be buying some food or drinks, and so on) - in this journey the things that my soul needs are like knowledge about life, secrets how to conquer the trials, and love.
At a certain point, the road is supposed to be walked with a partner. And along the way while stopping to fill the needs, I will meet a lot of people. Some of them will offer companionship with love along the journey… while some of them will be friends with promises to meet again at the next stop.
When I decide to walk with certain person, the feeling mostly started with excitement, feeling in love… to have someone in the journey… yet there is a worry, what if things not going well along the way.
The road is the right place to test the love… conflicts will appear… start from the simplest thing… when to stop for rest, or when not to stop for rest… which place to stop, or which place not-good to stop… how big the step should be made… sometimes one person can walk with big step while the partner walk with smaller step - they become imbalance… not side by side anymore… and sometimes the distance between the person becoming closer and they walk hand in hand together… but sometimes they each will walk at each side of the road… one at the left side of the road, while the other at the right side of the road… the couple will start to fight, start to hurt each other… and they will start to question how much love they have left… or is it love or just an illusion in the beginning?
Sometimes they split up on the road, taking each other’s way. Sometimes at the place they stop, one of the person see someone else that he/she feels more comfortable to walk with… and they change the partner… is it fair or not? I cannot judge… everyone has their own reason to decide how and with whom they want to walk their road.
The love tested along the way… funny but real… sometimes what they think as love is more like an illusion… and the love cannot help them facing the hardship of the road. Sometimes the love makes the couple to lose their focus to the end of the journey because they are busy struggling and fighting each other to walk with each other’s rule. And sometimes the love makes the couple able to reach the end of the journey greatly, when they are able to unite the visions, the minds and the souls.
When they lose the focus of what they expect by the end of the journey, they stop the walk… and feel heavy to move forward… sometimes becoming irrational and drag down each other back to the previous way instead of moving forward.
When they are able to orchestrate their mind and love and soul… they can walk faster, focusing to their end goal… and enjoying every step they make. And be the winner by the end of the journey.
I’m praying… that God gives me guidance when I stop by in my road and meeting some people, I need to know and recognize the well-matched partner to step forward together in the journey, with whom I will be able to orchestrate my vision, mind, love and soul. I also need the wisdom to differentiate which one of the offer just an illusion that will stop me reaching my dream.
