Life is a journey. Life is a path. Life is full of challenges. Life is full of hope. Life is a choice.
There are ups and downs -- left and right. Since life is a journey and the path itself, we decide which step to take.
There will surely be times where we encounter forked roads and intersections, traffic jams and potholes, everything else that slow us down. Most of all, there is this concept of "dead end" where life suddenly stops and we just don't know what to do anymore.
In life, there are no U-turns. From the moment we get out from our mother's womb, we step out into the world and accept that this is the point of no return. People grow up, progressively. There is no such thing as an adult going back to being a teenager just to fix things. Everyone moves forward. Life goes on.
When we are being faced by a dead end at some points in our lives, what do most of us do? Give up? Surrender? Just stop and stay there forever?
Our state of mind and way of thinking should be like the quoted sentence above. Either I will find a way, or I will make one.
A dead end in life does not really mean you're dead or must be dead.
Dead ends in life are not the end at all.
Find another way. If you can't find any other, then go make a path for yourself. Don't just stand there and cry. Don't just sit there and relax, as if waiting for construction workers to carve your way out of the dead end.
In life's dead end, there's no one else to help you but yourself. You will never reach anything if you just let yourself get stuck there until you waste your time and eventually die.
Again, life is full of hope. Challenges in our way are just tests to see how far we can go in life, how far we've grown as a person, how far we can achieve, and how far we believe in ourselves.
Finding paths and even making them are proofs that we don't just go with the flow, but we decide for ourselves in this blueprint of destiny that was designed for us.
