Small Dusty Street

The freeway does not lead to your destination, it takes you closer but far. Your life is nothing but free on it, no obstacles nothing, you keep left and pass right. Untill you click on that indicator and take an off ramp(Short left in South Africa) you still far from the real deal, yet close.
The small streets that takes you to your home, your business, your future has challenges, for the first time you see a stop street/ sign,  a robot, a zebra crossing, a taxi cuting before you, a far redused speed limit (School ahead), even smash and grab zones.

Your petience and determination will be tested. Our personal lives are not far from this reality. The path way that takes you to your dream is full of Job losses, I call it getting off the hiway, risk taking, I call that taxi pulling before you, stop, yield, school ahead, those are opportunities, it says observe, look left look right but keep going forward.

All of this can not be found on a free way because the freeway does not lead you to your destination, for you to reach your goal, you have to take that off ramp(Short left) and start mixing with people.
Come to think of it, are you aware that in the township people can talk while in their cars and moving at the same time, greet others, buy lose cigarate, get lose change and show love, far be it on the free way.
Gold is not found on the surface, you need to dig deep, get dirty in the dark for you to reach your goal. I realised this one thing very early in my life, that nothing ever come easy for me, I have to put on a fight all the time just like I'm doing now...
