The road is long and hard.
Much doesn't make sense.
You whine, cry, and wonder how to carry on.
The days go by.

A blur.

Take a minute.
Breathe.
Look at your life.
Find meaning in all you have been through.

Look for signs given each day.
Life is filled with markers of the true way.
Look when the darkness is deep.
Arrows point to the resting place.

Learn the lessons along the way.
Follow the path of light.
Check yourself when starving.

We are meant to be tested.
We are meant to fail.
We are meant to learn life lessons.

What you do,
with what you have learned,
is the key to the kingdom of heaven.
