Is this the sign of the times or just gibberish? When I got
off the train in Danshui Taiwan
my first reaction was WTF? Where am I going from this point and then of course
you follow the crowd or if you’re lucky like me you’re traveling with someone
who speaks and reads the language and you navigate from there. If you don’t
have a local guide, you learn to ask strangers for help and read maps even in
languages you don't understand. This got me thinking about people who risk
everything to migrate to a foreign land where they don't know anybody and don't
speak the predominate language of that new country and they risk it all for the
chance at a new and better life for themselves and their families, man what
guts and faith that must take. You wonder are things so bad where they are
coming from and what made them so desperate to feel they have no options left, or
on the flip side do they have a dream so big, so consuming, and so strong they
don't view this as a huge risk because their faith is so huge, so strong that
this is their calling it's no longer a risk but the only path for their life.
Have you ever had a passion so strong that you went against the dominate belief
or the general condenses that you were willing to risk a sure thing and risk
the safety of what you were taught and threw caution to the wind and followed
your heart, your passion, your dream because your faith in God and yourself was
enough that the fear left you and it was replaced with a calm and clarity of
what your future might be? If you haven't had that voice inside you, I hope and
pray that one day you too will find your calling, your passion, and your reason
for being.
