204. Keep running.

The clock is ticking, and lately it has been ticking fast. Before I could stop and take one deep breath, the lights have turned green and I’d  find myself running again, taking little breaths instead. I keep running and running, things around once seem like pictures so clear now appear a blur. Now, I’ve reached a cross-road, a point where a choice has to be made. But before I reach out my leg to step onto a new path, I asked myself what I have experienced before this.

It then hits me hard.

All I could remember are a few bits and pieces of everything – like a blur. I tried recalling- names and dates, important events and notices and all I could conjure in my mind are vague details. I shook my head and muttered, you’ve got to be joking…

I then realised how much I wanted to get to the crossroad, for it is a point on the route-to-take to get me where I wanted to go but I’ve forgotten to notice and treasure the gems laid along the path.

And so she stopped talking.

And since you’ve decided on which path to take, don’t rush and take your time for it’s not where we want to go or how fast you get there that makes you a winner, or any better than anyone else… it’s what you have gone through to get to that point that defines you.

She stood up, smiled and walked away.
