Life is  an  amazingly  wonderful   maze,  when   you  t h i n k  about it. You                                  start   at  the  entrance  n a i v e   and  unaware of what lies within.         It's  easy to c h e a t in this maze, if  you choose to walk the e d g e          until  you  get to the  end,  but h o n e s t l y it's more exciting  just          to  j u m p right  in.  Sure,  you   may  run  into dead ends                        every   once in awhile,  e v e r y o n e  has  their dead ends, but it's           easy  for  you to  turn back around, r e t r a c e your steps and go                             on.   At    times,   the   maze   makes you   want  to  pull   your  hair        out,  but   for   the  most   part,  you respect  the  challenge    that it        offers you.You begin to  r e a l i z e that l i f e                                            isn't  about   finishing  the   m a z e           it's  about        the path you take to get there. It's  about  The  t h i n g s you do on       your way  there. It's about all  of the amazing  p e o p l e   you  meet       while you're travelling.  I think people   forget   that quite a   bit,   so       the next time you see someone racing through their maze trying   as       hard as they can to reach the end, remind them that  they are    only       doing  themselves  a  disservice.   Remind  them that  l i f e is      what       make of it                   You

Mazes
Life is  an  amazingly  wonderful   maze,  when   you  t h i n k  about it. You                                  start   at  the  entrance  n a i v e   and  unaware of what lies within.         It's  easy to c h e a t in this maze, if  you choose to walk the e d g e          until  you  get to the  end,  but h o n e s t l y it's more exciting  just          to  j u m p right  in.  Sure,  you   may  run  into dead ends                        every   once in awhile,  e v e r y o n e  has  their dead ends, but it's           easy  for  you to  turn back around, r e t r a c e your steps and go                             on.   At    times,   the   maze   makes you   want  to  pull   your  hair        out,  but   for   the  most   part,  you respect  the  challenge    that it        offers you.You begin to  r e a l i z e that l i f e                                            isn't  about   finishing  the   m a z e           it's  about        the path you take to get there. It's  about  The  t h i n g s you do on       your way  there. It's about all  of the amazing  p e o p l e   you  meet       while you're travelling.  I think people   forget   that quite a   bit,   so       the next time you see someone racing through their maze trying   as       hard as they can to reach the end, remind them that  they are    only       doing  themselves  a  disservice.   Remind  them that  l i f e is      what       make of it                   You
For the difficulty that life often shows me, that's one weak maze I made up there.
