When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance..


..Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost


They say that's all that life is about. Choices. Every step .. at every stage there are decisions to be taken, big or small. And ultimately these decisions, big and small, make us what we are and place us where we are. You and I are different people because of the choices we have made in life. We are like we are because we chose to be like this.

We have always heard, haven't we.. that there is no turning back in the lane of life. But what startled me are the words of Led Zeppelin:
"Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on."


Honestly, I do not know whether there is reversing in the lane of life or no.. but I know for sure that every moment, every path and every decision in life cannot be stereotyped and so I have begun to live each passing moment with a purpose-a purpose to give it all.. all that I have, for maybe someday when someone else crosses the path that I took, maybe the road less traveled by, he may find my footprints there.. and may not be as lonely as I were..

Yup choice is omething that defines us in every aspect.
And purpose:-
Without purpose, we would not exist.
It is purpose that created us. Purpose that connects us,purpose that pulls us,that guides us.That drives us.It is purpose that defines us.

I dont beleive we choose our path or choose directions in life... for that would mean we have the road laid out beneath us...

but more often than not... when we make a decision, make a choice ( or a choice that life makes for us..) we tread new ground,we make our own path, lay our own road for because every experience in life is a new experience... atleast new to you and me...if not new to the world...
we do not always have the path laid out before us, sometimes we have to make it for ourselves... we have to do things in life we have never done before, or even imagined... to me that is layin down a road , not treadin one that was always there...
