Mind the Gap is a daily phrase heard in London Rails.
In literal meaning, it’s a reminder to be careful about the gap between the train and the platform.
In deeper meaning, it’s also a good reminder to deal with life.
There will always be a gap between life we currently have and one that we aim to, between dreams inside the head and the heart and many obstacles to achieve them, and many more.
It could be one of the things that makes us wake up excitedly everyday, because we have gap(s) to work on and it’s nice to close the gap as much as possible.
Whenever my heart wants to take the easy way, being complacent instead of consistent, duck out from any commitments instead of showing up, the brain always tells me to mind the gap.
Based on years of experiences riding many kind of public transportations, it’s always easier and it feels safer to step and to move between the ride and the platform when gap is narrow like ones in MRT or most of London trains than when the gap is too wide (which is quite scary for me) like most of TransJakarta or KRL platforms.
Such a motivational post on this half busy-half lazy Sunday.
