What a difference a few years can make.
A few short years back I was so different that it feels that I have been reborn. Is it too early for a mid-life crisis? Well, its not really a crisis. But I have morphed into a new entity and I have to rediscover my new self. Who am I? What am I about? Where am I headed?
I spent 2007 wandering about aimlessly. Will 2008 be any different? I guess its up to me to bring about the change. The first challenge is obviously to find a set goals that I believe in. But a bigger challenge is to keep myself motivated in the face of changing priorities, stress at work and lethargy in general.
This weekend I saw the movie Peaceful Warrior. Did Socrates find Dan or did Dan find Socrates. I think it was the latter. How lucky are those who find a teacher to guide them through the maze of life. I remember the time that Prof. Khastgir was my guide. I learned so much from him. But he is no more and I am half a world away from where I was then. So I have to be my own guide and keep myself focused on my goals.
If the goal is a worthy one and the effort sincere then the experience is bound to be happy and fulfilling. Its not the destination, its the journey.
