**FORGING AHEAD** Life is a journey and it matters alot the type of vehicle with which you travel. Umpteen times, we are faced with myriads of hurdles on our paths. These plethora of obstacles are ALWAYS there to make the better of us by not making our journey any easier but by posing great difficulty for us to overcome. The ability to overcome challenges is rooted in each and everyone of us. It requires constant pricking of our creative mind to brood deeply, search, find and develop the solution to each and every challenge we face. Sometimes, we are stuck in a cycle and we seem to go round and around thinking we are forging forward only to realise after a long time we have not really traveled far, we were in a not so merry-go-round. It takes great wisdom, patience, encouragement and motivation to forge ahead into the future instead of looking back at the stagnant past and subconsciously sliding into the enchanted hands of the past. Many a time, we are faced with the choice of choosing between maintaining our wounded pride or being more humble, honest and smart enough to learn from our circumstances. Choosing to maintain our wounded pride only drifts us afar into a world of intense competition with pride being the fuel that sustains the very combustive essence of the competitive atmosphere. Our minds becomes clouded with the progress, success, achievements and outcomes of our so called MATES. We want to be just like them or even better than them, we long to be at par with their lists of achievements thinking fulfilment comes from being at the same or higher level than our so called MATES. So our mind gets plunged into the very competitive phase with our eyes always on the look out for any new achievement of our so called MATES and when we cant match up for the time, we recline into a shell of unhappiness and unfulfillment. This my dear is very dangerous. The wiser step to take is to humble to thyself, be honest with thyself and be smart enough to learn from your past mistakes and be quick to celebrate the success of your so called MATES, That way you would find peace of mind and a clear canvass to plan your future again. Remember there is nothing like YOUR MATE. Your only one true MATE is the one that travels the same path with you, given the same circumstances, for the same reason and for the same purpose. in other words, YOU ARE YOUR ONLY ONE TRUE MATE and YOUR VERY OWN COMPETITOR. Hence you are only allowed to competite against yourself, outdo your former self, strive to get better than your present self, be smarter than you are now. One of my favourite quote is I go to bed smarter than I was yesterday and I wake up wiser than I am today. This is the very basis on which one should strive for; always getting better than your former self. That is the most accurate definition of improvement and achievement wherein lies fulfilment. My most analogies of life is the depth of a foundation and the projecting of an arrow. The depth of a foundation determines the height of the building and the farther an arrow is stretched backward the more it projects into the future piecing through the heart of its target. Be as a foundation: go for depth, go for stability, increase your capacity, go deeper and search out the refined truths about yourself because they determine your heights. Go deep and grow strong. Be as an arrow: accumulate more knowledge, develop more capacity, acquire more skills, steam up, gear up, stand up, aim high, invest more focus, toggle the seasaw of your strength against your weakness, grow more positive, see life through a positive spyglass and forge ahead. BURN THE NEGATIVE PAST..... SIFT ONLY THE POSITIVE FROM IT.... PLAN FOR THE FUTURE... BE PRESENT MINDED.... AND FORGEEEEEE AHEAD!!!!! ---RICHIE AMOR
