The choice is always here

40,000 followers, moving forward! Such a message was happily reported by some Mahila (I read a couple of days ago on Instagram). Then I remembered the story my friend told me when we were in Fuerteventura.

In the Fuerteventura island, there is an 84-year-old man. At the age of 53, he was suddenly suffering from severe muscular atrophy. For over 30 years, every movement causes him pain and he needs immense willpower to make a move. And every day, at 9 a.m., this man goes out on a 3-hour journey toward the ocean. Approximately 110 meters daily, 40,000 per year.

By small, slow, and heartbreaking steps, leaning on crutches and the wall of a street house. But he moves!

The choice is always here.It is up to each individual to decide where to move and what purpose to have: enjoy the crowd of thousands of followers or, like that sick old man, move toward the ocean.
