Growing upwards and outwards, is all part of the fabric of life; just when you think you have reached the core of your onion, more layers reveal an even smaller, shinier little bulb! The twists and turns of this treacherous tapestry is all too much sometimes, but if we fail to push the boundaries then we fail to learn, if we fail to learn, we fail to grow...and isn't that what this whole experience is all about?!
We can all name significant milestones in our lives, moments of clarity where all of the puzzle pieces fit neatly together to form some sense. We can look back with consideration, with regret and even with relief as we begin to understand the actions and behaviours of ourselves and others. But, these are just 'moments' and we are unable to stay still for long; everyone is in a different place and travelling at different speeds to different destinations!
So, I guess life is all about handling your own hopes and fears and if that means being overtaken by a Ferrari whilst you search for fourth in your Morris Minor, remember that it is the journey that counts, not the final destination or indeed the speed at which you get there.
