“ Life is but a walking shadow” –Shakespeare

Is it? Is our life just a shadow that disappears in the absence of sun? Or is our life a reflection of sun in a more dense form?

The answer lies with us. Do we waste our life in daydreaming, procrastinating, gossiping and drinking or do we set goals, take steps to achieve them, work continuously to improve ourselves and help others?

Do we pass through life as it were a dream and do nothing to shape our circumstances or we take charge and do constructive work to improve our lot.

Do we sit back and relax and wait for opportunity to knock on our door or do we work hard and create opportunities?

Do we just eat, drink and be merry or do we have a clear vision of who we are and what is our purpose here?

Do we remain self-centered and loose important relationships or do we give priority to our loved ones so we have lasting and meaningful relationships that become our support system in our time of need?

Do we let our insecurities affect our behaviour towards others or do we accept ourselves and try to improve where we lack? Do we constantly denigrate others because of our complexes or do we respect others and try to learn from them?

Do we watch realty television and pass our evenings or do we sit and play with our children? Do we go to pubs every evening or do we enrol in a hobby class to enrich our personality?

Do we bitch about someone who is successful because their success reminds us of our own lack of it or do we feel happy and appreciate their efforts?

The list is very long. But do you get the gist of it? Whether our life is a shadow or a shining star is totally on us. The choices that we make, the decisions we take and our actions write the story of our life. No one else.

Decide what your life is going to be

So be it!!!
