"He slept beneath the moon,
He basked beneath the sun;
He lived a life of going-to-do,
And died with nothing done."

Had made a brief reference to the last two lines in a previous post and found the entire epitaph on the net. loved it. Its not enough to desire something and have the capability to get it. The effort that goes into achieving all you've wanted makes all the difference. Now, I know its a cliched thing to say that intelligence is nothing without hardwork but its never been the conventional thoughts that have inspired me. I'd rather make my own mistakes and rediscover the wisdom being passed down through the ages.

At this moment, its so easy to "sleep beneath the moon and bask beneath the sun". I am living a life of "going-to-do" and am hoping for a miracle to not let the last line come true. When life goes fine, I have said that much as I want to, I cannot take credit for all the good I do. Its almost as if a guardian angel makes sure everything falls in place. There's no zest/determination internally that drives me, its all taken care of by a Higher Power. And when i DO have the determination and focus internally, there still have been times when i havent carried out a task efficiently. Now, if I dont take the credit for doing things right when things go fine, can I shrug off the responsibility of doing things wrong when I do fall short? or am I just looking for an easy way out?

Much as it sounds defensive, I think am being honest when I say I've started to believe in destiny. Everything is pre-destined and there's only so much you can do to help yourself. You can keep making your effort in order to not let an opportunity go by at a time when destiny's decided to give you a chance. So am keeping watch and waiting for my turn :-)

Its not that life will start once destiny turns an eye towards me. Life is right now and everything we have is already here. Its about what you do with it. Its been a wonderful experience, with all its highs and lows and there's no reason why life should wait. If there's one thing I cant do, its waiting - for the right time to start living...
