The journey

Nervous, scared about the people, afraid of failure and lacking all self - confidence I started. Long miles to go and being unclear of my goals, I was feeling very low but still I didn't lose courage and went ahead. So without giving much thought about the people around me I took my first step which came quite naturally and smoothly. But as I stepped forward I couldn't hide my journey from others and they noticed me and my condition quite clearly. I felt embarrassed and blushed down to my neck. In spire of having difficulty I tried hard to stop. Suddenly I realized that all others are also on voyage and are in the same boat. That realization made me feel at ease and I started again. It was smooth in the starting but then it became a little difficult. But now I was fully determined to reach my destination. My determination made me work hard for each step. Every time I had to take a deep breath and hold it to take a single step. Gradually, I was moving towards the objective. In between, I was also taking short breaks. But I wanted to finish it fast so I kept on breathing and pushing and thus taking my steps forward.
Finally with a last push I turned the last stone down. I felt relieved after such a hard toil and was quite pleased with my performance. I gave a grin and thanked God for the achievement.

AAhhh! A looong sigh of joy and relief escaped my mouth and I am sure everyone around must have noticed this. But I didn't care at all!!!
