Roads....

My "Hakuna Matata Mantra" took form in Africa, and has been doing well here in Italy in keeping up spirits. It's a different part of my travels, but one that will be very rewarding in many ways.

We will cross many different paths along our life's journey and will learn much from the people we meet - don't ever dismiss something because it is "different", or not the way you do it, or the way you like. Our way may not necessarily be the right way ;) One never knows where the road will lead them, but take in everything it gives you (good or bad) as it will only make you stronger and wiser. 

Things don't happen by coincidence and there are reasons we meet certain people along the way. It could be as simple as bumping into someone and choosing a book, or seeing a movie, maybe you were inspired/motivated by them, or possibly you smiled and brightened their day. You may even meet (or have met) your soul mate along that path. Heck you may even know them and they are there waiting. Whatever it is.....grasp the opportunities and go forward!!

Before leaving on my journey one of my best friends gave me this piece advice: "......I hope you enjoy every minute and every moment you ask/say "WTF". Enjoy the highs for what they are, but also the lows because they make those good moments feel that much better." It's been the BEST piece of advice I received on my journey.....something we should all listen to! 

Hakuna Matata :)
