Aspiration versus Reality

blogging after two years......a serious topic this time.....

had always wondered if what we aspire to be is in line with what we are?

was actually wondering when people say what they are, is it really what they are or what they aspire to be.

at many times we pretend to be be what we aspire to be....for example a person might call themselves rational and consciously try to portray the same..... but inherently it might not be the same..... when looked back at many of the decisions taken it might have been an emotional act.

there is nothing wrong in aspiring to be something else than what you actually are....but the problem is we fail to understand and accept what we are before starting the journey towards what we aspire to be......

this also has a great impact on the direction we chose for our life......we choose it based on our aspired trait rather than what we are and this leads to a disaster when we realize that in spite of all efforts we are not reaching the goal....this is because your assumed starting point and the actual starting point are way apart.

would like your comments on this thought process.....
