Sacrificing the gift

Every now and then one hears various views about how to live, one hears about success and failures, about love and pain, of friends and foes. One of the most common beliefs is that one should know what one wants to do in life. I find that very difficult to grasp, I find it difficult to believe that we can find what we want to do in life, the way I see it is, life is like a series of events some of which effect us and some don't; our responsibility is to do the best we can of that passing moment, of the immensely large number of things that we are capable of doing every moment pick the one thing that we like to do.. Do it with all the passion and love... not as one more thing that has to be done... It is only when we find that true love can we say that we have "used" that moment and fulfilled our duty.... Recently I read this Chinese proverb somewhere "If you are not putting in your best... You are sacrificing the Gift"...

Lets not sacrifice the gift...

Well said Fasih... we all tend to sacrifice our "gifts" by not being able to give our best...

But I still believe that we all have a mission in life, the challenge is to find it and try our best to accomplish it... a life without a goal is like a "means" without an "end"...

The "end" is the event, but it is the "means" with which we spend most of our time... it is important to live in the moment and enjoy the "means"... but the larger picture should move towards the "end"...

We need to gift our lives to this world... and that is the "gift" we all have...
