What is life? If you search this on #google, you will get tons of posts regarding same. Still your question doesn’t have any proper answer. Because everyone has their own perception about life and their own and experiences too.

Today I will tell you what is life mean to me. You might like this or not, but even I have my own thoughts and perceptions too. ;)

I think life is like a #highway and we are like a car which is travelling on that highway. Many cars run on highway and we have to travel along with them. These cars are like people we meet everyday. Some of these cars will give you side or will give you proper indications just to make your journey safer. These cars I think are like our family and friends, who are always there to help us. They will guide you, they will help you, they will make sure that you will remain happy and safe every time. Sometimes your car may breakdown and someone will help you out in such situations. They are like some strangers we meet everyday in our life, who comes surprisingly to help us.

While driving a car, you might get stuck at some places, you will face traffic jams, you will get some speed breakers or you might get some pot holes. These are nothing but the obstacles and challenges we face in our daily life. Your real skills get showcased here so does your approach towards life. Reaching a destination after struggling with all these, is always a great feeling.

Now let’s discuss about the way how people move ahead in life. On highway, there are n number of cars. Some travel slowly and some travel fast. Some travel on moderate speed. Some cars just don’t break the lane and keep on going on the same track. Some keeps on changing tracks frequently to keep on moving forward. Now in life people also follow same trend. Some people just follow their routines while some get involved in various other things which makes them happy. If you want to move ahead of others, you have to take some risks as cars overtake each others on highway. But these risks should be calculated one. If you are sure, you can overtake one, then only go ahead. Life works on same principle. Just take every chance you want to, show dedication and grab the things.

Someone said “Straight roads do not make skillful drivers.”

It’s really true and so does our life don’t become interesting or different from others without challenges and obstacles. This shows your real picture to others. All these things will change your way of approaching towards life. This makes you capable of doing many number of things differently.

Above all, what all matters is that whether you reached your destination or not. Never worry about pace of achieving things and keep moving forward. Some might reach early, some might reach late or some might not even reach. But giving 100% is in our hand and NEVER GIVING UP is the only option left.

Love your life and live it in your own way.

So, Life is A Highway! #OnItsWay #ItsOwnWay
