Go find yourself

Why is everyone so happy chasing a dream that is not their own? What joy do you get from the achievement of a goal that you never set for yourself? Even a lion thought he was a sheep until he saw his own reflection just coz he had spent his life among them...as one of them. Are you happy being a sheep just coz your surrounded by a herd ?  Or would you rather dare to see a true reflection of who you are and learn to roar? Each one of us has a lion inside us waiting to roar but we don't want it to do that coz it takes the courage of facing your true self which most of us don't really have. Why do we take a beaten track and follow it with such sincerity ? Is it coz we really want to reach the destination it leads us to? I doubt. Its because we are scared to go into the darkness of a path never taken, for we doubt our own ability to deal with the obstacles it may offer us. We do what the world does and comfort ourselves each day saying "everyone is doing it..its not just me" at take pride in it. Shame on us if we are happy about doing something that everyone does. If you were here to do what everyone else does, what then is your own identity? We follow others in everything they do yet point fingers at them if something they do doesn't please us. Let us atleast be consistent in our behavior! We commit mistakes all the time and some of them too big to be called mistakes, yet we don't see them coz well its ok to make mistakes but when another person does it we are the first to point fingers.
Make mistakes, but let them be your own so that its you who learns from them and its you who shoulders the responsibility. Go run blindly, but run to chase a dream that you saw. Go take a path but not the one that everyone else took, but the one that offers you new challenges. Go taste the fruit of the satisfaction and joy you get from achieving a goal that was YOURS.
