Quit Running
I once read a story about a man and his partner who traveled to a certain place from their home city. This man's partner decided to go to the market and buy some victuals. It wasn't long before he ran back all shaken and scared. In a very shaken state he told his friend that he had just seen death and he knew that it was his turn to die. He begged his friend for a car and quickly started back for their home city.
Curious as to what this meant, the friend went to look for death. He met death and enquired from death why he had given his partner such a fright. Death told the man that he himself was really surprised to meet the partner in the market, because,according to death, he had an appointment to take the partner alright, but the appointment was for the next day at their home city and not in their present location. Guess what? That was exactly where the partner was running to, unknowingly to meet death.
The problems that we run from, are not solved by change of location. The problems and challenges of life are not overcome by where we are or the circumstances that surround our lives. The answer to every question we face in life is a function of ourselves. The answers don't come from where you are in life but how YOU handle the circumstances you find yourself in and who YOU make yourself to become as you progress to where YOU want to get to in life. Running away from where you are and your problems only leads you to other problems and robs you of the lessons, experiences and joy of success that comes from fighting your battles through to the end. So, why not quit running and don't quit fighting?
