August 21, 2008 Life and Driving

Thanksgiving and praises to Almighty God. The source of strength, the source of blessings and the ultimate source of wisdom.

For the past few days I have been very excited with my driving lessons. I have overcome the fear of driving a vehicle. I have overcome the fear of not learning. Thanks be to God for allowing me to learn.

As I contemplate, our life is like driving. The goal is the destination. The clutch is the time. The break is manifested by the hindrances that you will encounter along your way. The gas is your motivation and the energy that you will exert in order to reach the destination. The steering wheel is the force that will guide you. towards the goal.

The goal is where you look at, not on the rear of the vehicle but on the road towards your direction. Don’t look near look at the farthest as your eyes can see. Chin up and have the confidence that you are seeing everything. Clutch defines whether you will move forward of move backward. It will also determine how fast you will move or how slow you will reach your goal. Break causes you to stop. There maybe hundreds of reasons to trigger the break. It may appear as a hindrance or a block going towards your goal but the break reminds us to STOP and for awhile and REST. The gas is our exerted efforts, our motivation, and our internal desire to reach our goals. Our motivation is very vital because it is the force that will keep us moving and moving despite of every break.
