As in war, life’s terrains may vary greatly.
They may appear
sometimes slippery,
sometimes dry,
sometimes muddy,
sometimes steep,
even, at times, like a minefield...
A lifetime of experiences won’t be enough to prepare for all terrains.
Instead of trying to “get” it all, one is better off learning to adapt.
As our body sometimes does when we run on slippery ice and are about to fall -
in a fraction of a second, it knows how to move our arms and feet,
regain balance, and keep running.
As trees, without much resources,
can grow from a small crack in a rock.

As fighters, after severe injuries,
can heal and return to the ring.
You may not be as tall as you hoped to be.
You may not fight as vigorously as you could,
and you may not run as fast as you once did.
Yes - but you will still move on.
And here goes one of the keys to life:
It keeps moving on.
You, doing so, across all kinds of terrains in your life.
Will be nothing less than a blessing.
Know it - live it - and keep moving on.
