Direction

Direction is so much more important than speed. Many are going nowhere fast  | Popular inspirational quotes at EmilysQuotes

We are born with nothing and go with nothing, so what exactly are we achieving by all the running around? We are seeking glory and riches to be enjoyed in this lifetime and for which we feel that all the pain and suffering is incidental. That’s where we miss the whole point.

Transcending the cycle of pain/pleasure is ours for the asking but we are so busy chasing that we don’t have time for anything that asks us to pause and take a look at what is happening.

Before you start running at least ask yourself what are you chasing and whether that is what you wanted in the first place. The great kings like Alexander the Great, Emperor Asoka felt remorse even after winning and they also finally died with nothing to take away from this world. 

So ask yourself – What is it that “I” want from this life? and more importantly what is “life” and who am “I”?
