Its my Life

Whats the best way to lead a life? We hear and read a lot about it everywhere. People from different walks of life have a different take on it. An optimist will tell you to risk and be adventurous, a pessimist will tell you to be vary of bad times and always look for security, a youngster will tell us to live life king size, whereas the seasoned uncle will tell us to cherish every moment. So it is pretty much clear that its almost impossible to follow everything as at times it is so confusing if we are to live with a specified philosophy of life.
I believe as we grow up we take much from our environment and it shapes our behavior but deep down inside there is something which is unique to us. It may not be very obvious but it is there nevertheless. Life is about sharing this common world with our friends, with neighbors, with every living being around, with deep blue seas and lush green grasslands, the lofty mountains and the hot deserts, the infinite stretch of the cosmos and that hidden spark of life within us all.

I don't think life is about rules and rationality. I also don't want to live life like some one else. I know I am not a Brad pitt or a Bill gates and me trying to be like them will not take me anywhere. I don't want my life to be about chasing shadows and then in the end when I look back I see that I have been turning my back towards the light all this time. Its probably not about making money or earning fame. Its not about following value systems only because some one told us to, its not about reading books to pass exams and surely its not about living only beause we are alive.

For me living is about challenging myself everyday and fueling my passion for being a better person in everything I do, its about accepting my shortcomings and limitations and respecting them as they make me what I am, its about making things better from what I have, its about taking on failures and disappointments on my stride, its about walking alone when every one else takes a different road, its about standing with the friend when he can't find a seat, its about looking back at life every now and then and relive the moments which left us long back, its about taking a break from monotonicity of work and business , its about crying for our broken heart but smiling because love happened, its about being a kid sometimes and above all living the way I want to live and not the way I should be living.

I beleive life can be fun or can be hard, it can be adventorous and it can be unfair but we all have our own stories to play and we should always perform to our potential. Probably living and acting are not that differnt...
