"Twinkle, twinkle, little star how I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky........". I have no idea where I was going with this, though it seems I was caught up in the time warp of being old & yearning to be young again. Day dreaming of the days far gone when I had no care in the world but the world as my playing field.
Isn't it quite intriguing that all of life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish & insensitive to the real values of life. We get smacked in the face with the reality that constant & persistent hardwork which we want to side step & despise is the major building block in the individual we are meant to be today.
How crucial it is in this walk of life to realise that setbacks, failures & tragedy are a part of life. Whether we manage to find a fountain of happiness & a bucketful of success in the daily strugle of life is largely dependant on our capacity to perserve through in the toughest adversity.
Watch your thought; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
Who we are is defined by what we think of ourselves & not by how the world sees us. Do not conform to the ways of this earth otherwise you will be lost forever in the dos & don'ts of society. Step out into the warm sunny days & bask in the goodness of being alive. Reach out to those around you & endeavour to better them as well, for no person is an island.
It is not hard to decide what one wants life to be about. What is hard is figuring out what one is willing to give up in order to attain the things you really care about. Life is a series of natural & spontaneous changes sparked by the fire that burns within but is never ignited as we fail to fuel the flames.
