A New Beginning
Simon returned home from his extraordinary journey with a sense of
nostalgia, knowing he had grown and learned so much. Though back
in familiar surroundings, he felt restless, eager to apply the lessons he
learned on his journey. “The greatest glory in living lies not in never
falling, but in rising every time we fall.” – Nelson Mandela
As he settled back into his routine, Simon couldn’t help but feel a
sense of discontent. He had been on an incredible adventure, and now he
was back home, doing the same things he had been doing before. He felt
like he was stuck in a rut, and he didn’t know how to get out of it. “The
only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs
But Simon was determined to break free from the monotony. He
started taking small steps towards change, pursuing new hobbies and
interests. He began writing, painting, and exploring his creativity. And
it was liberating! “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” –
Abraham Lincoln
As Simon continued on his path of self-discovery, he realized that
he had been given a gift. He had been given the opportunity to see the
world, to meet new people, and to experience new things.
And he had been given the courage to take risks and to follow his passion.
“Success is not 昀椀nal, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue
that counts.” – Winston Churchill
Simon’s journey had taught him that life is a journey, not a destination.
And he was determined to make the most of it. He started taking risks,
pursuing his dreams, and living life to the fullest. And it was amazing!
“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” –
Charles R. Swindoll. As Simon looked back on his journey, he realized
that the people he met along the way had been catalysts for growth. They
had inspired him, motivated him, and helped him to become the person
he is today.
“The people we meet on our journey are not just coincidences,
they are catalysts for growth.” – Bisong Simon
