Path

The glorious fruits of a man of purpose bring so many thoughts and imaginations to the spectators. Amidst all these speculations, one thing everyone must know is that those glorious heights are not attained within the twinkle of an eye. It takes time, diligence, commitment, devotion, sacrifice and endurance. It is an entire package on its own. Genuine fruits of purpose are sweetened overtime. The path to purpose is demanding. One could sacrifice so much to an extent that he/she will seem to have nothing to sacrifice again. The path never promises to be easy but the process is worth it. One peculiarity to the path of purpose is that it is uniquely designed. That is, it is the path which only you can take. The vision you have about the glorious destination eludes the challenges you could face along the path. For example I see myself at a destination far from my current location. The only thing in my head is the nature of the destination, it’s beauty and splendor and probably the distance, but I may not see the hold-up on the road to that place, I will not know if students will cross the road and I could be required to stop and wait, I could encounter delay in takeoff time and many other seeming inconsistencies that could delay my movements. The estimated duration of movement to my destination from current location could be 4 hours but I may end up spending up to 8 hours. This is what the path looks like. Virtues play important role in the process. Virtues are the necessary ingredients and equipments that help one to stand the test of time. Virtues build strength and capacity. In the path to purpose there are distractions via entanglements, people with different visions and lots more. The road is rough, with thorns, it is rocky, with hills and valleys. But we do not GIVE IN to situations, neither do we GIVE UP but then we GIVE A WAY. This is where virtue plays it’s own part. One thing we must always remember is that we are not path mates.
