Journey of Life

We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act. Swami Vivekananda

These words are profoundly deep. Being away from my own sometimes is devastatingly overwhelming. Every thought , every action can easily swerve my psyche towards any end of the continuiim where the two ends represent failure and success. but how do i measure this , what defines my failures or my success? Is it my sense of satisfaction or is it what others percieve about my actions at the end of the day? If my present has the power to determine my future then this makes me tread even more cautiously. Is life about stepping on the right steps or is it about experiencing the journey? Does the journey count or is it the end result that decides whather a life has been wasted or whether it has been fruitful?

Questions, Dilemmas, Decisions, Choices ..................................................... A recipie for success or a disaster waiting to happen.
