Let us begin this article with a simple question, which I term as the most important QUESTION OF LIFE:
"Do you really know what you want to be in life? And, Is every step in your life focussed towards making your dream come true?"
Honestly, my answer to this question for a long time was a NO. Like everyone, even I am confident in whatever I do and I believe in myself. But, unfortunately I never realized what I want to be - like Sachin realized he want to be a cricketer, Michael Jackson to be a world's lovable musician, Mahatma Gandhi to bring glory to INDIA, Chetan Bhagat to be a writer, Sharukh Khan in Chak De India to lift the spirits of women's hockey team etc. Life turns out to be a real bliss from the moment we decide what we want to be. This might look like a simple theory to understand, but the tremendous potential of this fact can be unleashed only when it is really put into action. There would be a phenomenal change in the way we look at our life from that magical moment when we are clear in our minds about what we are gonna become.
At any point in life, there is always a greater probability for us to regret on many: for not being a cricketer, singer, dancer, athelete, movie director, author etc. We should spend our life doing what we feel we are born to do. Only that would be real fun! Incase if you haven't realized yet on what you want to be .... WAKE UP - No time is too late to change!
“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.” - Swami Vivekananda.
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.

There is a redemptive power that making a choice has. Rather than feeling we are an effect to all the things that are happening around, Make a choice ... Just Decide on 'what is gonna be, who you are gonna be and how are you going do it'. From that point, the universe will get out of your way and you'll lead the life rather than it leading you. Even when no one else in the universe believes in you, just stay with your dream.
"Don't ever let somebody tell you that you can't do some. You gotta dream. You gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you: you can't do it. If you really want something ... GO GET IT. Period."
