The Ways & The End:

 Do you think the way you live your life at present, defines your life? If so, you are exactly wrong. Yes. Exactly. Ways will never define you.

 When you live, you find a way. When you choose a way, you assume that it defines your lifestyle. That’s where you make a mistake. Your lifestyle’s definitions come alive when your life ENDS. And… The fact is you will never be alive to experience the definition you carry all through your life. Strange… isn’t?

 Just imagine. You are inside a boat. Boat moves. People wave their hands at you. You wave back. The boat stays at some places. People come and speak to you about you & about your boat. You feel happy when they praise you & your boat. You feel sad when they demotivate you & your boat. You constantly react either positive or negative. You find new ways to react. Hence you forget to understand you are in a boat on a moving river! May I be Honest with you? When you are on boat, people react. When you are off the boat, people react. And you assume your reaction to their reaction defines you. Certainly not. Definition comes after your life ENDS. How you lived your life defines you. Ways you lived? That will be a forgotten past tense.

 END brings a complete picture. END makes people to think about you. END gives for what you lived for. END uncovers many dimensions of you. END tells the world what you went through. END pictures the intent you carried all through your life. Above all, END speaks your complete life with a balanced view.

 And… Surprisingly, when END speaks about your life, you won’t be there to hear it. When END defines you as one of the best, you will never be able to see it. When END defines you as one of the worst ever, you will never be able to justify it. Then… why leading a life with Explanations on your forehead, Masks on your eyes, Fear on your nostrils, Drama on your tongue and Lies on your lips ? Time to think?

 There are two choices. One is … Live your life to the fullest. Forget defining you. That happens after your death. Every day is a blessing stays inside your palm. Smell it and live it. Or you have another choice. That is… Justifying you every day, every time, everywhere and to everyone. Which one you would like to choose?

 There is a word in English – Legacy. This comes after your death. Your END brings your Legacy. Your present tense changes constantly. How can one defines the change that happens constantly?

 Live your Legacy every day. And forget what will be your Legacy. Because … That’s not in your hand. That’s in the hands of END you meet in your last second. Let END defines you. You just live your life. Yes – In all possible ways!
