The Journey Of Life
I'd liken life to be a journey.....
Everyone is on a journey to a different location and destination and so is everyone in life.
The journey of life is one which is determined before you embark on it.
You must have a VISION - Destination.
No one wakes up in the morning, enters his vehicle and begins to move without a predetermined destination in mind.
What is your VISION
Define your destination
You are the driver of your life. For every vehicle to move, there needs to be a driver on the wheels, without which the vehicle would remain on a stand still.

You are the driver of your life
Your life is in your hands. You do with it whatever you choose to, so whether or not you get to your predetermined destination (Achieve your goal) depends solely on what you did or did not do.
Can You Drive?
No one enters a vehicle to drive without having a technical know-how of how to make it move from one place to another.
If he decides to stubbornly drive the car, he may crash the vehicle, himself and perhaps others too.
You learn how to drive by letting an experienced person teach you; you learn the basics of life also by learning from other's experience about life.

Take advice from people who have gone ahead of you in the journey of life. Get mentorship, read books, do whatever that makes you continue learning.
Don't Let A Roadside Mechanic Maintain Your Car
It is only the manufacturer of a car that can take proper care of it because he knows the in and out of the vehicle than a roadside mechanic.
When the manufacturer maintains the vehicle, he knows where and where not to check when there is a problem with the vehicle but a roadside mechanic has to check almost all the parts to be sure of what actually went wrong with it.
In life, your creator, GOD, is your manufacturer.
He knows you in and out and knows exactly when and how to fix you back to shape.
Practice the habit of meditation and prayer, it helps you connect to your source.
Maintain Focus
No matter how much you like the route leading to a location in the opposite direction, it would be foolishness to go down that route when you know so well it wouldn't lead to your destination.
Learn to maintain FOCUS on your destination, it is stupidity to compare your life with that of another's. Be focused on yours.
Life is not a competition, the only person you should strive to become better than is the YOU of yesterday and not the man/woman next door.
Life is a journey which begins and ends with you. You may not have a smooth ride but you will definitely get to your destination if you remain focused, determined and have a goal in view.
Don't get carried away by other's people's smooth journey that you forget to be content with what and where you are and have while working towards what you want to be.
Life is Beautiful with people like you.....
My name is Juliet Israel and if I get the opportunity, I'd like to tell you over and again that you are awesome and you can be whatever or whoever you want to be only if you BELIEVE.
Cheers.....
Life is indeed a journey, we may get lost on the way but vision is what puts us back on track.
Focus keeps us in line and Ultimately we return to the manufacturer when we experience difficulty not forgetting to use the manufacturers manual (Bible) as often as possible.
Wonderful post @julietisrael
Thanks much @korexe.

This is just like the summary of the whole truth...
Thanks for your input dear.
Duly appreciated...
Wow! This is such a wonderful message. :) Indeed, we must just focus on our own ride of life. :) Well, we can of course appreciate other people's lives and learn from them but we shouldn't be too busy getting envious with their lives and forget to drive ours. Hehe :) I love the last line. :)
Yeah, exactly....
Thanks so much for stopping by, you are indeed....awesome
