One Life to Live

Life is all about decision. You are who you choose you want to be.
Will power enables us to control, at least, our being and sometimes our surroundings. Most of the time, I want things to work in my way; I want others to think in my way, speak in my way and behave in my way. I don’t realize that it might be true if my way isn’t always the perfect way. I am too self-centered. Apparently, it is undeniable too that it is really hard to take control of myself. I have unconsciously, accidentally done things that I should not have done. QUA: How powerful could a man be?
The same principle applies in the journey of life. Due to weaknesses, lack of knowledge, inexperience, and limitations it is so hard for every human to always choose the right decision. Therefore, if I may imagine, I am inside a maze with one way out and I turn to a wrong path for once and thus my next turns will lead me to a deeper confusion. It might also happen that I will not be able to get out of the maze. QUA: How could somebody get out of that maze?
I would say that life is a maze, a puzzle which no one had figured the clues out except you (you would and would not). I don’t mind if you want to look for your own way out and try it with your own power but I only worry whether you will make it on time or not (it is way more complicated than 1000 pieces puzzle and nobody knows also when the deadline is). QUA: Are you sure you are going out of the maze of your life?
Looking back at the records of the ones who had been in the puzzle, it is a little surprising. Some did manage to get out of the maze safely and reach their destination. Some exited in the wrong place. Some ended up giving up in the middle of the maze, puzzled, dazzled, trampled, and failed. I remember discussing suicide rate in some countries in the world, like Japan, and how high the rate is at dinner. That’s how tough our world we live in is.
For me, personally, it’s better for me to have the guide-book or walk-through book if I have to pass by a maze or it would be best if somebody who knows the way accompany me along the journey to make sure I am not going to be lost. Alright, I admit, I am probably too afraid of some challenges in life, but if I know it is not worth risking the opportunity of one-shot, I would not dare to play around.
It’s good that I have both the friend and also the guide book! Along the way, I still have to carefully listen and follow the guidance of my friend and also consult the book for some riddles but at least I don’t have to worry about going to wrong direction. Anyway, this friend of mine, he has quite a lot of spare time, he is willing to assist anybody who has the same fear as I have –the fear of getting lost and failed. His office is open 24-7. Just call his name and he will pick up.
Good luck!
