THE RACE OF LIFE

Everyday we wake up, we consciously or unconsciously take in air just to continue the existence on the face of the earth. The cycle continues as the day roll away but then in sports there are different kinds of race and life in its original state covers all the race.
• Short Distance Race: Those who run this race will attest to the fact that you need all your energy from start to finish if you must win. Similarly, there are times in our lives we must exhibit this trait if we win. Remember, man is of a few days (short distance race) but filled with trouble, telling us we need to be careful else we miss it.
• Long Distance Race: Yes, this is another phase where we look into the future. This is where you hear the popular saying that once there is life, there is hope thus telling us to never give up in life no matter the challenges. It does not matter who started first but what matters is your determination to get to the finishing line. Never celebrate too early while in this phase for it is not over until it is over. Daniel was involved in a marathon race though not the favourite to win. Somehow he was second placed in the first lap and in the final lap too until few metres away from the finishing line when he noticed the winner was already celebrated ahead of time by the crowd. The young man at the top relaxed and behold Daniel was at the finishing line with his last strength thereby winning the race.
• Relay Race: In this race, everyone wins as far as you play your role well. Meaning we all need each other in this life if we must get to the top. No man is an island and so the contributions of everyone counts. Never think you can do it alone, learn to partner and work with other for if they win you win.
• The Hurdle Race: This is one race of life everyone will never want to run but truth be told that it must come no matter the prayers and running away. Life in its default state is filled with trouble and this trouble must either be overcome or won and not avoided. Face the troubles boldly for out of it comes the victory of life.
While in any of the race of life avoid looking back. Yes, I mean your past experiences as it can make you fail along the line. Focus on what is ahead and trust God for the victory, never give up no matter the storms that may come. Act like the eagle in the time of storm and you will see yourself soaring high.
