At birth, we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel by our side. However, at some station our parents will get off the train, leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train... our siblings, friends, children, grandchildren, and even the love of our life.
Many will get off at their station and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so silently and unnoticed that we don't even realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.
Success consists of having a good relationship with all other passengers- requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery is, we do not know at which station we ourselves will get off. So, we must live the best we can… love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are, especially to those in need. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to get off and leave our seat, we should leave it better than we found it, and full of beautiful memories for those who will continue their journey on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful ride on the train of life. Reap success, share success, and contribute to the experience. Most importantly, thank God for the ticket.
I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train. Each of you are awesome passengers!
