After months on the road with no money and nothing more than the clothes on their back he kept the dream of getting to South Africa alive.
You can only imagine the trials and hardships and dangerous situations that this young man and his younger brother had on his journey down south, none the less, he kept moving forward. Many times I can imagine they went without food or shelter. When he was telling his story he relayed that on many occasions he had to piggyback his brother because his small legs would easily get weary of walking.
Along the way he might have been tempted to just call it a day and settle in that particular country. However pushed by his desire to reach his objective he continued, irregardless of the pain and torment that his feet may have been subjected to, he kept going. Through the pain of seeing his family, being slaughtered before his own young innocent eyes, he kept pushing through.
Finally after months on the road he reached the boarders of South Africa. As he stood before the barbed wire he saw the green pastures that had motivated him to keep pushing forward, he saw the land over-flowing with gold, and a land he would be free at last. Little did he know that his journey was only beginning.
So what do YOU have to loose, my dear friend? Are you without shelter, without food, has your family been brutally murdered or are you forced to walk by foot to a land you have only heard of let alone seen on TV. You see, there are some people who have it worst than you. Whatever challenges you are facing - it is not the end of the world. With determination and a clear vision, you can overcome ALL obstacles that try to get in your way. No one said it was going to be easy, but it is not impossible.
You still have a roof over your head, you have food on your plate and you have your family to cheer you on. So what are waiting for? Give it all you’ve got. Begin your journey, never look behind, and do not allow anything or anyone to make you change your mind. Decide from today to go until the end, until your reach the destination that you have set out for yourself.
