The choice is always up to you!
Just follow your heart's desires.

The rabbit, who started his journey alone, meets and joins many animal friends, including an owl, a couple of mice, a monkey, an elephant, a giraffe, and a goat. They take shelter from the rain together, eat delicious dinners together, wait for each other and encourage each other when the road stops for a moment, and even lead the way on difficult uphill roads.
It shows that unexpected encounters on the road can be much more fun and enriching.
It also makes us realize that we are not walking our journey alone.


They sometimes break up for their own goals, and sometimes stay together until the end towards the same goal.
Depending on whether you choose to go alone or with others, your travel path will be completely different.
In these repeated encounters and separations, my choices show that I am creating my own path.

As you travel, you will find yourself at a crossroads with many choices.
There will be countless 'choices' waiting for you on the path you are walking on now.
Which way to go, whether to stay here, cross the bridge and head somewhere new, how long to stay on the stopped road… … .
It was all up to me.
There may be times when you hesitate because you don't know the outcome.
Or, we may force ourselves to choose something we don't want to do, or we may force ourselves to choose something we don't want to do in order to conform to universal standards.


But this book gives you the courage to follow your heart and go wherever your heart desires.
They say that in any situation, it is important to follow your own pace and make your own path.
I hope you remember at every moment that you are the main character of your journey, and listen to the voice in your heart.


When you just want to come back,
It's okay to come back to your warm home anytime.

In "A Wonderful Journey," we are reminded that even though the road stretches on forever, there are times when we need to take a break, and that it can suddenly end in abruptness.
On our journey, we will sometimes have to go through steep and arduous uphill climbs, and we will also experience difficult and tiring moments, as if we were hanging on to a precarious cliff.
But the book shows how satisfying it is to finally reach the top, and I hope you don't miss that sweet joy.


In this way, we may experience setbacks along the way, but we will learn valuable things and gradually build our own 'wonderful journey'.
This book doesn't force you to take on challenges unconditionally or push you hard.
If you get tired of climbing to the top and want to turn back, he pats you on the back and tells you that you can always return to your cozy home along the way.
Because it is also a valuable experience and will bring new insights.

"A Wonderful Journey" was translated by author Lim Kyeong-seon, who provides life counseling through Naver Audio Clip and enjoys writing about human relationships and attitudes toward life.
The sentences that make the most of the rhythm of the text leave a lingering impression, as if reading a poem.
I've unpacked the text so that you can pause for a beat while reading the first sentence and moving your eyes to the next line.
The 'road' is compared to 'life', so I can see my journey reflected in its entirety.


Author Lim Kyeong-seon says, "New adventures are exciting and anticipated, but they are also often difficult and scary, so they require support and encouragement filled with love and wisdom."
I strongly recommend "A Wonderful Journey," which contains all the words I want to say to those about to embark on a new beginning.
