A New Life
Just when you think you are settled with your existing life, have learnt to be happy about the good things and happier about the missing things, life decides to turn around a brand new corner. What awaits you ahead, down that corner, is a mystery, sweet and exciting, which only a fortune teller could ever predict for you.
The amazing fact is that you don’t even want to know what lies ahead. You are happy in the believing that this new corner starts the journey towards the best part of your life to come. Even though it is pitch dark right now; even though you seem utterly alone on this road; you know deep down, just a few miles ahead lies the light, the dawn that will show the way and bring the joy that you have always been searching for.
Your worldly eyes can’t see the light till far and there are no signs promising that the dawn exists; however your belief is strong enough to guide you through the darkness, taking you step by step, a little closer each time to the light.
Where does this belief come from? You have never been down this road before and you have never before witnessed the dawn. How then, can you believe that it exists? Why don’t you go back the corner into the life that you knew? Why do you still keep moving forward?
The dawn is there, it has always been there waiting to be discovered. This final corner makes it come closer to me. You don’t see it with your eyes open, but with your eyes closed. It is so bright that your open eyes would be blinded if you were to see it now. The long road, the slow rise, the anticipation, just help you get prepared for it. It is right ahead, it has always been, where else could it rather be.
