Most of us, when we are in a long journey, reach a moment when we introspect (which happens after we dont want to listen any more songs or read any more crap). For me, the introspection thoughts(one of my friends prefer calling it "kya khoya kya paya" thoughts) always popup the moment I stand on the gate of the bogey holding its yellow bars. And this introspection turns evn more severe if u have met some guy in ur journey who is not only chasing his dreams but also is halfway through it. This guy i met during my journey, Vikram, was a freelance director and makes documentaries(dn scratch ur head, he's not known yet and is in the post production process of his first venture- father spirit). Guys like these make u think- m i chasing my dreams? M i doing wt m really passionate about? Or am i doing everything just to become an ATM for my family. For most of us the ans wd b a straightaway YES. Money...matters most.
But i'd like to go about it in a diff way...i think its not achieveing ur dreams that should be the most important goal for one or its not the destination that should drive a person but the journey. A beautiful journey makes the end result even more ..............
During the journey, we find ppl we fall in love wid. And we donot get much time for them. To get the result, we forego things we love. D friends complain, bt who listens!!! To get wt we want be tend to bcum emotionally challenged. Wid some people, its voluntary.
Just think of a successful person who has achieved everything in life but he never got a chance to take care of his parents cz he was always busy for them. Or a person who never really sat down wid his kids to give them a bit of Father-Gyan. Or if a wife starts to feel single again, should that not ring bells for a successful person? But in no way am i demeaning the need of the finalcial success one should have in order to have a comfortable life. Its always better to cry in a BMW than on a bicycle.
Success is a very subjective term. But I think it should be objectified with some of the things that matter.
We all aspire to have a successful future, but fail to live in the present. As will smith says- life is not about the no of breaths that u take, its about the moments that take ur breath way.
