The Journey

19 Asma 162 B.E. September 6 - 7, 2005 A.D.

Is it the journey or the destination that is important? I have heard two views on this, but I have not heard any facts on either view. The path a person takes in life changes many times. We encounter forks and crossroads that change the direction. At each fork or crossroad we make a decision, the decision about which way we turn cannot be change and we cannot go back to the same fork or crossroad intersection. We are always moving forward or we are standing still agonizing over decisions (when we should be moving forward). If we want to change our direction we must change it at the next fork or crossroad intersection.

When we come to a fork or crossroad, we often have to make split second decisions without knowing it is the right decision or not. We make our decision and move forward on our chosen path or we agonize over the decision wasting precious time over it. If we agonize we often let fear decide for us and do not take the fork or intersection path we want to take. If we do not agonize over the decision, we let our intuition or gut feeling indicate which way we are supposed to go. Either way there is no turning back and to change our path we must wait for the next intersection to change the direction we are going. If we are on the wrong path we will soon know it and another fork or crossroads is approaching, so we again have a change to decided on the direction we want to go.
