…And Lace The Boots

At every period in our lives, there is always a boot to lace but the challenges that surface goes to which boot to lace and at what time. The “boots” in our lives include all the choices we make from studying to partying, relationships, career, what we eat and working towards achieving our dreams. We always have to make a decision concerning our boots and it is crucial that we do it right else, we’ll just keep falling. We can not do without them because they are what constitute our living and every bit of them matters. Lacing your boots means making the right decisions and putting things in place. It also means getting ready for every task that could be brought your way.

Imagine a footballer in a pair of boots without pegs to play on a field on a specially rainy day. He will most definitely get the hardest falls of his life. He’ll miss goals and end up frustrated. Needless to say, he won’t enjoy the game. Well, that’s what happens when we lace our boots wrongly.

How well we fasten the lace tells a lot about how far and how fast we will go. Also, imagine a driver on a journey of 24 hours but who fuelled his automobile to last for an hour. He is going to have to stop at a fuel station to get more fuel and if he gets just an hour worth of fuel again then he’s got to keep stopping to get more fuel. Of course, that’ll slow him down!

In our journey in life, what boot, what time and how to lace a boot are important factors that we should always consider. Ensure your boots are laced rightly.
