What will you find when you get there? If you died today, what would be your legacy? Would anyone remember?
Join Bill Solomon as he begins the journey of a lifetime. Discover the secrets he almost misses as he rushes towards his destiny and dreams. What happens along the way? Discover what he finds as it changes his life and his destiny.
This book is written in an allegory fashion and is fiction. Each one of us travels a path in life to our own destiny. It is a choice we must make and there is a reality at the end. In fact, even if we choose not to make a choice, we will in the end, have made one.
There are many voices in the wind and the advice from each is just as diverse. The truth, however remains long after the passing of the storm. It then appears plain and simple, even as the rainbow, high above. Let the journey begin.
Bill awakened with the sound of a lawn mower roaring to life in one of his neighbor’s yards. He shook off the sleep as he raised his head up to look at his alarm clock. It was 7:30 and he was still in bed. He couldn’t believe it. He was going to be late to the office. He had taken the whole weekend to go over his business plan and put together a strategy to get his company headed in a new direction and now he was going to get a late start. He quickly took a shower and grabbed a slice of toast as he put his jacket on and headed out the door. As he walked out of the gate of his front yard, he realized that he had forgotten to power off his entertainment system, so he hurried back inside to turn it off. He took a few minutes to check over everything before leaving again. As he closed the gate behind himself, he turned to walk down the sidewalk to his office just a few blocks down the street. He hoped that this was the last thing that would delay his long awaited plans. He was so eager to meet with his staff to show them the new direction he wanted to pursue.
As Bill was walking down the sidewalk, he greeted each of his neighbors by name. There was Sally tending to her flowers and Tom was across the street painting his front porch.
Bill continued on the next street and as he was approaching one of his favorite houses, he noticed that Mr. Wisdom was out on his front porch. He had not seen him in quite a while and was very excited to see him this morning. “Hello, Mr. Wisdom, how are you doing this morning? I haven’t seen you in quite a while. It is so good to see you this morning.” Bill exclaimed as he was walking so fast that he was almost running down the sidewalk.
Mr. Wisdom replied as he looked up from the newspaper he was reading while he was swinging on his porch swing, “Hello Bill, I am doing just fine. It is really good to see you too. We just got back yesterday from a trip overseas. It is a beautiful sunny day today, isn’t it? We have a new flock of ducks on the lake this morning and the birds have been singing their cheerful songs. It is so good to be back home. Where are you off to so fast this morning? It looks like you are going to a fire or something. Anything I need to know about?” He joked.
Stopping in his tracks and turning around, Bill decided he would take a little time out for a short chat. He was really eager to get to the office, but he had been meaning to stop and talk to Mr. Wisdom if the chance ever arose. He seemed to be a very intriguing man and Bill was really wanting to know more about him. Everyone in town loved and respected him and now the door was opening for him to get to talk to him. “Oh, I have all these appointments and schedules to make and it seems like there is never enough time to just relax. I just came up with a new business plan this weekend and I am eager to put it to the test. Busy, busy, busy! I don’t know where the time goes. It seems like the days just keep getting shorter and shorter. I really didn’t take the time to notice that the sun was shining today or for that matter, even to notice the beautiful songs of the birds. Tell me, Mr. Wisdom, how have you managed to achieve such success, and at the same time maintain so much peace and be so at ease about everything? I have watched you from a distance and you always seem to be at peace. It is like nothing ever stresses you out.”
Mr. Wisdom had been hoping and praying for this moment to talk to Bill, so he put down his newspaper and walked over to the front gate of his yard. He was such a fine young man, but he was always on the run. He hoped that he would be able to spend some time with him to find out a little more about him. “Well son, I learned a long time ago that there were certain principles to follow and also that there was someone who knew more than I did. I used to be as busy as you until one day like this, when someone came along and the words he spoke to me caused me to stop and think for a moment. It radically changed my life.”
“Can you tell me about it,” asked Bill? He tried to hide the eagerness inside, but was sure that Mr. Wisdom saw through it all. He had learned a lot of knowledge in school, but Mr. Wisdom’s life seemed to contradict a lot of the things he had been taught. He would gladly give up the time it would take to get a glimpse of this mysterious man.
Mr. Wisdom looked curiously at Bill and said, “Well Bill, it may take a while and since you have such a busy schedule and all, maybe this isn’t the most opportune moment …”
