Destin(Y)ation

Imagine life handed you the keys to one of the most sophisticated vehicle in the universe and gave you an opportunity to go on a really long road trip to your dream destination. Like with all ‘too good to be true offers’—conditions apply

  1. Your vehicle may have manufacturing defects.

  2. You may not be promised a fulltank or spare tires.

  3. You have infinite roads, finite time and NO GPS.

  4. SPECIAL NOTE: 24/7 road side assistance available for those who believe that the cars din’t make themselves or that the roads din’t magically appear out of no where :)

Believe it or not, every single human ever born has already taken the offer. If you are reading this you are already on your way to your destination. The sophisticated vehicle i was referring to is our body—state of the art, one of a kind.

True to the contract, no two journey starts the same. Some start with an empty tank or a defective vehicle that they might have to drag to the nearest HOPE station while others get a cruising start.

Fact check: Did you know our vehicles are fueled by HOPE and powered by WILL ?

“It’s obvious that we cannot control what we start with, but what we are in control of are our choices.

Our choice to choose our roads, Our choice to change directions, our choice to go reverse at full speed if we hit a dead end, Our choice to help others stuck in the middle of nowhere. Our choice to give a ride to someone who broke their vehicle. The choices are infinite. The choices we make, bring us one step ‘closer to’ or ‘farther away’ from our destination.”

There are 200 billion galaxies and there is only one “YOU”. While am still trying to figure out the odds of us coming in to existence, what am certain of is that we came here for a purpose. We did not choose life, life chose us. The day we find our purpose, is the day we find the shortest path to our destination. And yea, shortest path doesn’t always mean smoothest roads, but we will there eventually. And when we get there, it will all be worth it.

So, where you heading to ?

“We may not own the roads to our destination, but we sure own our destiny.”
