The train journey

Last couple of weeks I have been having quite some fun on Saturdays especially since I take the train journey. I love train journeys. As the siren horns, the train starts of gently and wades through the rail tracks. Moving smoothly, the train passes through those nice green luscious fields and the rocky mountains, sure of knowing where it is heading. Whenever I am on a train journey, I am reminded of the rhyme, “Piggy on the railway picking up stones..” If you haven’t heard of this before ask the cute little ones you know and they’ll tell you. What really fascinates me is the fact that the train precisely knows where it is heading. Many a times the track divulges into 2 different tracks and always has the choice to take any. But knowing its destination it chooses the right path and reaches the target bang. Be it on time or not it still reaches. Does the train really have a smooth journey, not really. I remember 2 weeks back as I was traveling from Bangalore to Chennai, the train was diverted because of a breach in one of the track lines. The train did not give up and changed its route and ensured that it reached the destination., making a few hundreds happy, relieved and satisfied. Isn’t this a metaphor for life as well?? As we travel through in life isn’t it a must that we have a target for ourselves. A GOAL that will decide the route and the path we must take. Unless and until we know this, there is a possibility that we can take any train and not head anywhere and as we reach there realize that that’s not what we wanted and come back the journey. Wasting time and energy!. As we go through like the train is there a guarantee that we’ll have a smooth journey?. I bet that we will have hiccups that will stop us from traveling. But its about changing our ways to reach the target. Its about changing our STRATEGY and still ensuring that we reach our goals. Traveling life is fun, and on the way we might find certain places where there would be more than 1 path. We need to make the decision, the CHOICE, as to which path do I take. That would decide our destiny. And we make the choice and we have all the necessary resources to DESIGN our DESTINY. Know where you want to go and take your ACTION towards SUCCESS. Live with Passion
