“Delayed, Arrived, Departures, Cancelled: Station Board casting reality….”
“Laugh in the face of life, because everything will happen according to designed timeline.”
“Every platform is a platform for learning, every journey is a lesson, every destination is a realisation, every departure is the truth.”
>“If you have to lose yourself to catch it, it was never your train.”
> “If I cannot wait, I’m not meant for this train”
>“Though the weight of wait is real.”
> “If I have to return empty handed, God please don’t allow me to walk that path”
> “Have a safe journey, because journey tests you more than destination ever will!”
Train Announcements:
‘The train has arrived on its respective platform”
No one wants to miss this train. But I say, “If you have to lose yourself to catch it, it was never your train.”
Why worry about losing something? If it’s meant to be yours, you’ll reach it anyway. Don’t rush, don’t cling. Just walk in that direction, on the path that will lead you to your destination. It won’t just vanish all of a sudden, but if you are destined to board it, it will appear there magically, trust this… it will, If you started on time and your efforts are honest, you won’t miss it this time.
Life throws a thousand opportunities your way. You miss them, they slip from your hands. What if they were just wake-up calls? To make you active, to make you realize you have to act before time slips away?
“The train has been delayed”
But I say, “If I cannot wait, I’m not meant for this train.”
“Though the weight of wait is real.”
We want to close our eyes and reach the destination in a second. But then you’re skipping the journey. And without the journey, the destination is out of reach. You miss all that you could have admired — and that is priceless. That’s why some people lose, because they never really started.
Sometimes you are excited, you wait for results, but they don’t show up instantly. Empires aren’t built overnight. Everything you put your soul, heart, and effort into requires patience. Though the weight of wait is real, delay is never denial. Trust the timing.
“The train has been cancelled”
But I say, “If I have to return empty-handed, God please don’t let me walk that path.”
Losing is okay, but knowing you chose the wrong path, misguided yourself, and picked the wrong choice — you cannot reclaim what you lost. It wastes years of your time and self.
Don’t rush to a place where you were never invited, or where you are not needed. It’s okay to step back from the station to your home
“The train has departed”
But I say, “Have a safe journey, because the journey tests you more than the destination ever will!”
The journey is where you understand yourself. It can cause delay, it can make you sit longer, depending on the speed of the train, the hurdles it has to cross, the tunnels it runs through, and how God ultimately lands you there.
I spent years thinking I was doing it from my end,
Then found years passing, blessing me with things I never wanted.
Then I lived years, learning to accept what I was granted,
And now every minute I believe — yes, this is the life I was seeking, the one God has painted.
