Often, more than norm we have come across the aged saying- "life is a race". Now what do you think?. Is it really a race or some other thing. For me this realization came clear when I got to the senior
secondary school and just like virus advised his students, my teacher also did the same, explaining that from now and ever more we all have our individual race to run. We are all involved in a race of some sort, even not trying to run is part of the race.
Then the question comes, are you really running in the race? The gift of life is like getting tickets to a race with an individual stop time, it doesn't necessarily mean you are racing , you just might be a spectator. The real miracle in racing is not just finishing the race but starting the race.
Not racing in the race might seem cool, just like staying in the glade might be comfortable, predictable and would not involve taking risks and making ridiculous decision but racing is the fun part, it's how you can get the chance to achieve great deeds and the sense of fulfillment. When you put yourself in the line to race, you expose yourself to some unknown, uncertainties but yet you give yourself a chance to be better, a chance to affect people, the opportunity to encourage other racers and non-racers.
Since you are already in the race by nature and your time is ticking and limited, its best you RACE and if racing then, its best you do it well. Other parts of this series will expose you to things and thoughts that will make your RACING worth it. STAY FINGERS CROSSED!!! PEACE!
