THE TRAIN OF LIFE
At birth we boarded the train and met our parents,
and we believe they will always travel on our side;
However, at some station our parents will step down from the train,
leaving us on this journey alone. As time goes by, other people will
board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends,
children, and even the love of your life. Many will step down and
leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we do
not realise that they vacated their seats.
This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations,
hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good
relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of
ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we
ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love,
forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this
because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our
seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those
who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success and give
lots of love.
I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.
