Most of us have eyes focused on prestige and material wealth.
We want to be proud of ourselves, to be looked up to.
We try too hard to stretch our arms out and grab as much of these as we can,
and find a valid reason to put forward our pompous selves.
But often, we forget how common this road has already been taken.
Superstars.
Great scientists.
Famous poets.
Internationally competent employees.
Successful businessmen.
100 richest people in the world.
And then what?
Turns out, these people are actually in the same journey as ours.
They're also stretching their arms out to reach something.
Love?
Happiness?
Healthy relationships?
Peace?
The world is a thirsty and soulless creature,
that vacuums life from the sources standing on it.
So if we'd depend on the world as much as it depends on us,
it'll give us endless quests, mazes with dead ends,
and the pain of having countless question marks in our heads.
Probably it's time to swerve, to shift our focus on
that narrow path laying dusty on our side.
Walk that road which few people take.
They said it's difficult, but it's worth it.
For even though it seems impossible for a camel
to go through the eye of a needle,
the Shepherd would certainly reward his faithful flock,
a reward greater than the greatest reward this world can offer,
something that is nourishing, calming and perpetually satisfying.
'Cause the fact is, it is what's at end of the road that'll last.
