Life



I recently read the book "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coehlo. The book is beautifully written like a modern day parable. It taught me that Life rarely turns out the way that we planned. We must always realise that we WILL definitely face obstacles before success. Nature teaches us this very lesson every day when we witness that its always darkest before dawn.

History is largely told as a chronicle of great people doing great things. For most of us, life is not made up of big moments but its made up of small moments. With every small choice, with every small decision, we are defining ourselves.

It makes me wonder, are we proud of ourselves, or are we disappointed by who we've become?
