Are we really living our lives or just surviving.letting each day just pass by. From sunrise to sunset … the day starts with breakfast and ends with dinner….our life is confined between waking up when alarm rings, going to work or school and coming back at evening tired exhausted and then we head back to sleep and continue this routine till the weekend. we kind of spend whole week just waiting for the weekend so that on weekend we can be me we are.do what we love n from what we get happiness. if you are living this kind of life just stop just stop for 2 minutes and think what you are doing is it what you had planned .majority of us are doing what we were not meant to do and we are doing it just because we felt it is a secure thing to do. we traveled the more traveled road rather than the less traveled one. we fear to lay our prints on the less traveled road, we are afraid to stumble, to face failure it’s not our fault it’s just we were never taught to face failure.everyone is so busy in just praising the success that we often forget to appreciate the struggle and hardships.

Coming back to the point what we are heading in life .the worst thing in life is to have a regret for an entire lifetime. when we would be in our old age thinking about our past and realizing if I would have taken just one different decision my life would have been entirely different.i would not had to find moments to enjoy to be happy .my every moment would have been just memorable for a lifetime.just think about it there is nothing wrong in taking two steps backward accepting the failure and starting a new journey. never think you would be left behind, at the end everything comes down to you.you own contentment your own happiness. when we do what we really want to do the hardships that we face when achieving it feel like we are nourishing ourselves for it, it doesn’t become a hurdle rather it acts as a stepping stone to reach our goal

We sometimes don’t get what we want in life n that time it feels our world is over, everything around us is just finished.in that one decision, we had already pre-planned our entire life. and then reality hits us, we face what were never prepared to face in life, we face failure.the thing that is most fearful about failure is the fear that you get with it. the fear that was you not good enough were your struggles not enough or it was never your thing.we start to doubt our capabilities, we start to doubt yourself. but believe me, this is the best phase to prepare yourself for the big thing. this is the time to face your fear, your failure with pride. FAIL AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN BUT CONSIDER YOURSELF A FAILURE, YOU ARE NEVER A FAILURE UNTIL YOU DONT QUIT TO TRY AGAIN.

In life just once listen to what your heart says to you, take the risk the chance just for your own self .this time just for your own self. don’t think about the result. after years you will be so content that you took that chance for your own self. that day you will be YOU.from that day you will start living your life not just merely surviving it.
