The Others

The one common thing we all want is to be different.

When you meet a guy, you ll hear him say that he loves sports, movies, road trips,etc and when you meet a girl, her hobbies would invariably be painting, being creative, interior designing, fashion designing etc.

And we believe we are different. Most of our conversations about ourselves are animated around how we see things or think of things differently. But no matter how different you get. You will still do something that many others have already done. No matter how much we try, we are same at almost all levels.

But what is so great about being different? The "I am" or "I did it" factor, the " Every body look up to me" factor. The " I will always be remembered as....." factor. The "My contribution" factor. What ever it is, the focus is on being recognized, being seen differently, in the present and future.

Today are you willing to look into your neighbour's eye and openly declare that " I want to look good to you, and I will spend my entire life doing all that is needed to look good to you."
I always believed that if I live the journey right the result will finally be reached. But after 10 years I have realized that, 1. There is no right and no wrong. There are only different ways. 2. I did not aim, so I did not meet the objective. My purpose was my journey and that is exactly where I am and will be at the end of this life. On one of the ways..... with no idea where it leads. Because that is exactly where I want to be.

I have no where to reach. I have just to be.
