Go the Distance...

Journey

a traveling from one place to another, usually taking a rather  longtime; trip:

a distance, course, or area traveled or suitable for traveling:

a period of travel:

passage or progress from one stage to another:

So where does our journey's take us? Our career, sport, family, travelling, life. Its true we are the holders to the key of our journey. We are the ones that make the decision of which avenue to take on our journey. Yes we have others in our lives that can help to direct us, but really in the end we are the only ones that take the twists and turns on our journey. 

We all experience different things on our journeys, change in career, people we work with, injury in sport, trying a new sport, coaches. Family well that is forever changing, new additions and sad losses. Travelling, just opens up a whole world of new experiences with total strangers.

My daughter showed me the film clip from Hercules with this song, and I searched for the lyrics, they are amazing. Also sung by Michael Bolton.

"Go The Distance"

I have often dreamed, of a far off place

Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me

Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face

And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance

I will find my way, if I can be strong

I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while

When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate

Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you

And a thousand years, would be worth the wait

It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distance

And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat

It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope

Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part

For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance

I will search the world, I will face its' harms

I don't care how far, I can go the distance

Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

I will search the world, I will face its harms

Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
