I have seen people often contemplate their life as if it a race, the faster you go, farther you go. To be frankly honest, it is not the case. Life can never be the game of race where you move yourself in a defined route but I would like to compare it with the game of football. In football, players often have to change the route for the same goal according to the situation. Secret of winning the race is pulling up the socks and keep running in your path, but the reality in the life is other way around. We need to know when to move forward and stop in life.
While you have a goal in your mind, moving faster is not a best route or even not possible at times. Some routes, like career takes 3 times longer, and some are dead ends. It is not who reaches first, but it is who reaches. Why I compare the life with the game of football ?, simply because everyone doesn't have the same goal and doesn't start at the same place. Do not set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. We are made to reach our goals by facing many opponents, adversities, calamities, hardships, sacrifices, failures, misfortunes etc.
The most important thing in reaching the goal is not 'when' but 'how'. Successful people are the ones who moves forward when they can and look for other opportunities when they cannot move in forward. Also We must be ready to adapt and look for different route when there is an obstacle or an opponent in life. In this competitive world if we are not ready to backtrack, then we are lost in the journey.
Always pay attention to where you are, Do not compare yourself with others. Say to yourself, "I have the time to get everything done that what are my goals in my life". Everything always works out if You don't rush. Goodness of reaching the goals in life is not winning but completing.
