Who Am I?


I
n a close friend wedding last night as I put forward my hand to a guest to introduce myself, a simple question struck my mind, "Who am I?"  Am I really that person as I had presented myself as throughout the life with a name given by a close relative and a surname borrowed from family. Answer to the question had been re-injected in our mind so many times that we have restricted our identity to this few letters borrowed name. 


But as I practice a bit solidarity for the night in bed, it didn't let me sleep throughout the night. I kept tossed over to find a simple answer, Who am I? What was the ultimate goal for which life has been put into this skeleton of muscles and bones? Am I anyway near to that supreme motto of life? 
Take a pause and introspect who you are. You are not just the name which is given to you. You are born as a free soul to do whatever you wish, cry or laugh walk or crawl, eat or drink.  But as the life moved on your soul got trapped into the bars put by family, school, college, society and the organisation which gives you paycheck at the month end to keep you slave for their own gains. You just forget your passions, dreams you have seen and just kept getting satisfied like a lion of circus ring. You are not a father, a mother, a son, a daughter or a spouse or a A rated employee of your company. . These are just the worldly tags stuck to you as you pass the various stages of circus of life. 

You are definitely not the one made only to work for a 9-5 job which gives your bread and butter and in turn grinds you between the wheels of  of life as you pass through separate stages of life one by one which ultimately leads you to one inevitable reality of life i.e. death. Before that ultimate power put one last break its still the time to take your own break and find the meaning of life and what you were ought to become and what you have become.  

Life is not just. Everyone doesn't get an equal share of life. Some gets hundred of years others gets only a second. Every person on the earth is born with an untapped potential to achieve something different. Find your calling. Discover your right path and walk on it without giving a damn about the adversaries that may be inflicted upon you till you reach your destination. every morning when you get up, just ask a simple question to yourself, What is that one thing for which you will be remembered for centuries. After years when you lie on your bed taking your last breaths you will regret not the things which you ave done but things which you should have done. 

While most of the persons spend their life only few have the courage to live it.
