what lies beneath all..

You would think that after living for a almost a quarter century that you would have figured out a lot about life and and all its elements including the most important one Yourself! But even if you are 80 years old you would still not be able to achieve such greatness nearing your death. The only one true thing that you can know for sure is you will never know enough of yourself before you die.

Achieving objectives (little ones) which to us seem like big ones are always what we consider the mile stones in life. But once you actually get there, it isn't always what you think it'll be. Take your career instance; we always work towards a certain goal, thinking that when we have come to that point, when we have worked hard and reaped the fruits of our labour that it will be trouble free, cos that is what a dream are about. But how many times have you achieved what you really yearned for and gone on thinking years after, how happy and lucky you are to have gotten what you wished for? Well its true, life moves at such a fast space that you forget your dreamsin an instant and loose track of appreciating what YOU have achieved and how you did it. Before you know it a million other elements would have found their way into your life's equation and blind folded you to the present. Soon enough you would be striving for something else in the future. To me shear existence is like a "Supermarket Wipe out Contest" On TV. Its true when you are running down the isles in a rage you know what's going to be really expensive that you should put into your cart, but once you've gotten it, you are not going to be thinking of that one item for even one millionth of a second. You move on, following this new desire that just crept up before you. Growing up you would picture yourself being somewhere, in a job that you know you can be your best at, finding the perfect someone that you spent your entire life manufacturing in your head and then hallucinating the life after that.. But when you get to the checkout counter and the cashier says that your bill isn't high enough and you do not get to take all the stuff that you picked out. You feel like hell! But on thethe hand if you do get to take the stuff home in less than a few weeks when you are having that last tub of ice cream you probably wouldn't even remember where you got that from while unmercifully burying that spoon in to the ice cold tub. You would be contemplating a brand new kind of rat race for yourself to prove to yourself and the rest of rest of the world that you are Great.
