No Walled Journey


If life is a journey, then in our lives we follow the path of this journey. And either we know exactly where we want to end and we follow the path that will take us there, or we follow our intuition and as Antonio Machado says we make our path by walking: caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar.

In any case, there are times when we find ourselves facing walls in this path. And some people stop and stare at the walls intimidated, disappointed, or afraid. They wait for the walls – the obstacles – to go away. Others might wait for someone to come and “save” them from what seams a dead end or a hopeless situation.

People, it’s just a wall. Stop staring at it and just jump over it! Climb if you must or tear the damn thing down. No one tells you that you cannot do it but you. There are no hopeless situations unless you determine them as such. There is no obstacle that can’t be overcome, no problem that can’t be solved and no wall that can’t be jumped.

So, next time you are faced with a wall, just jump over it and continue the journey.
