The Overcomers
There are some that are never willing to overcome their fears and their imperfections to strain forward to one�s destiny. Yet there must be realization that indeed, we all have a destiny that is planned for us, and that there are many ways it can unfold. It is your own self that must choose the right path from the wrong path, the rigid path from the informal path. For your destiny to be benefited, and for your goals to be preserved, we must overcome them, and make a fateful decision sooner or later.
We will all overcome our hurdles in life, though we either learn it the easy way or the hard way. It�s our choice, and our choice only. We have to decide what we should overcome, and when we should overcome it. Sometimes the hard way will give you the destiny you most desire, yet the price you pay will be great, and your obedience and sacrifice towards your goals will be drastic in measure. Yet it will be worth it in the end. Many times we must perceive that it will happen...the time for our determination has come, and that we are going to conquer the obstacles of life so that we may live our dreams. For some, it is only at the end of our moments of life until we understand that we do indeed UNDERSTAND...that we can appreciate ourselves, that we are people with purpose. For others it happens earlier. We all run the race. We all will cross the finish line sooner or later. We all must accept the paths we must take, for the will of The Force, and for the will of others. A destiny must be and will be...completed.
There are many Jedi that take the long and hard path. Yet other Jedi in the past decided that it was better to take the wrong and easy path, so that the will, the balance, and the attainment of The Force would be fulfilled as was written in prophesy. All must take the steps that was foreseen of them to take. They chose their path, no one can choose it for them.
To overcome something we must let go, let go of the past mistakes, our past flaws, even our prestige...to be courageous and to take the next step. It is the only way to serve our purpose. It is the way of the Jedi.
