Closure

Today I experienced how nice it is to wrap up something. It’s not so much the result that matter but more on the satisfaction and relief that a chapter is closed.

I have begun learning motorcyle in January 2011. Time flies and here we are, more than 5 years from that time. Thank God for the many learning points that I have obtained throughout the lesson be it overcoming fear of fall or failure, building consistency in practice, paying attention to small things which matter like posture, and many more. I am glad that today I close this chapter.

It did not matter whether I passed or failed even though today is my third time taking the test. Because in any case, I am also not planning to buy a bike. The one that matters is that I have already set a target that whether I pass or fail, I will stop taking the lessons.

It was sweet by God’s grace that I could finish with pass, with some grace on the mistakes which I made. It is an encouragement that difficult things can be overcame over time, it may be a long time but it will end. It is also a reminder that it is possible to move from a state of not knowing anything to a state where we can be relaxed and confident about what we are doing.

It was also an encouragement that perhaps in the future difficult things such as learning Mandarin may be progressive. I can’t control that. But I can decide whether I want to keep trying. I can decide not to give up and rise even when things seem to be impossible.

Let’s move on while keeping the memories in our heart and apply the insights to another journey.
