The Journey Through Life

The title of my blog is "The Journey through Life." Why is this the title of my blog? That is a very good question. Honestly, I do not have a direct answer to that question, because there is no one answer to life.

Life is a journey not a destination. No matter how successful you are, no matter how satisfied you are with your life, and no matter your circumstances and past decisions, no one can say they have everything figured out. No one person knows their true purpose and identity on this Earth. I believe we can never truly figure out that identity and purpose before we die.

Every one is in a process. This process is never ending. We are all learning. We are all making mistakes. We are all exploring ourselves and others around us. We each have a unique identity that no one can take away and that we are trying to figure out. However, all the unique identities of the world interconnect and come together to solve the world's biggest problems and challenges.

Everyone has their own different gifts, talents, and abilities. Every single person fits into the puzzle differently. Each person, no matter how big or small, can fit into that puzzle, but the puzzle will never be complete. There will always be challenges and obstacles. Nothing is perfect in this world, and so there are going to be rough times.

Life is a journey. No one knows for certain the direction God has for them, so no one person can say they have life all figured out. You could be fifteen years old or you could be 99 years old. No matter where you are in life, there is a path for every one to take. There is a purpose to be fulfilled. There is a unique place for each person. Instead of thinking we know all the answers, we should start thinking of the all the questions we do not know and explore those further. When we get stuck, we know we have God to rely and lean on to pick us up and place us on our feet.

Everyone has a different philosophy about life. I thought I would share with you about what I think life is:

Life is about making mistakes because if I did not make any mistakes I would not learn anything. I would not grow and develop as a person. I would not be able to achieve what I want to achieve. If I did not make mistakes, I would be perfect. I know I am not perfect because I have an amazing God who I can rely on for everything in this life. When I try my best to fulfill my purpose that God has for me, I know I cannot fail because God is right by my side through the good times and the bad times. Overall, God is the center of my life.
