Two paths

It was one of those intimate moments you have with your own self when I was just walking through my entire life , what it is , what it was and what it is likely to be.Just as any other person's life it has been eventful , at times absolutely blissful, sometimes crazy and at yet other times totally incomprehensible. What is it that makes me me and what is it that makes my life the way it is? The answer is suprisingly simple...... there have always been two or more paths in front of me and which one I have chosen to take has decided what I am today and what my life is today. I remember reading the following somewhere:

"There always two choices in life. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.
And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.
To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all."
I was just wondering how many times I have taken the choice to be! Perhaps not enough times. May be this is the time make this resolve. How do I want my life to be , yes that is the starting point. I have to sow the right seed in my entire being to reach there. Every moment , every pore of myself has to dream that. Easy to say I think but I am going to give it a sincere try.
