I can say that my life is like the sport I used to play in school, the Archery. But in the better focus, I shoot arrows just enough to realize how hard it is to hit the bull's eye.
It is when I realized that indeed my life has a lot targets and bull's eye that more often than not I want to go back to the effortless way I spend my life before I involve myself in Archery. Yet it is a challenge to practice and aim at life's bull's eye.
I am embarking on the road, a road unveiling the different aspects of my life that are new, thought provoking and anchored towards learning and living in its fullest sense.
In my own understanding, life is merely about aiming accurate sight of dreams that depends on us and our experiences. Life is about the journey we all take and the steps we make to create a meaningful and significant journey.
My two years as a part of my school archery team has been to say wholeheartedly fulfilling in a sense that I never would thought that I am going to be sporty or whatever geezzz...
I was once an ordinary student but I realized that somehow I need to move forward and try something else. We always know the best road of our lives but we follow only the road that we have become accustomed.
My youthful mind and "naning"-self are the factors which hold my self -understanding back so I could not hit the eye of concentric targets of life.
Each experiences in my life is very vital to my growth as a human which was never imposed to me until I opened my hands in order to take the change to accept new things my experiences has to offer.
As an archer, I always focused my stance, bow arm, grip, sight, releasing and follow-through in successive shoots in order to achieve a good standard of accuracy. In every competition, never had I thought of hitting the bull's eye. I always focused my self to the process or the basic form of an archer, thereafter, the arrow will hit itself on the target depending on how focused the archer was.
As said, when you are moving toward an objective, it is very important to pay attention to the road. It is the road that teaches us the best way to get there.
In the sports like archery, strong wind hinders us to hit the bull's eye. Like the blow of the wind, I used to believe that storms in the life hinder us in hitting out life's target. But it was all changed, in reality storms can change the wrong perspective we have in life and lift us up to where we should belong if we only take these storms as the wind beneath our wings.
I have found it in my journey and it has brought me to a new dimension, to greater heights, self awareness and self-revelation. It allowed me to hone my focus in life to better appreciate the experiences it brings.
