Identity Crisis..

Ever thought of what you want to see yourself become after 5-10 years? Ever thought that where you are today was not the best option you got when you were given choices? Ever thought of the butterfly effect of you own decisions, and where they might have led? Ever questioned yourself - 'where the hell I'v ended up' or 'what next now' or 'what is it that I'm really worth'? Ever got confused over your own interests, strengths, weaknesses, achievements...?

If even few of these questions ever haunted you, then probably you too are the member of the community, the sufferers of 'identity crisis'...Oh no...its not some sort of mental diorder, as it might seem....its just being wayward to your own self, and then getting confused over 'what i am and what i could?' Its a feeling - standing on a square and wondering which road to follow....without actually knowing the destination!!

Talking about its cause, it should be 'competition' in my opinion. But there might be others like lack of guidance, social aspects, family background, economic conditions....so and so...But then, one might choose his own path, fight the society, leave the background behind, beat his penury.....but, its pretty tough to compete with thousands( to say the least..), similar swimmers in this narrow pond, where everyone wants to rise up, drag down the rest, and come out as the winner....or atleast as a survivor. And Then what...?? The story repeats again....fight for another goal.

The present perspective is 'Learn, to earn'. Money has become a priority in the society, and one can't do justice with his own self. One could find many engineers who could become cricketers, many doctors who could become
singers, or painters who'd become something else.....against their soul, and their talent.

But, there are many more pathetic cases....who still don't know what they could become and why they are what they've become...unable to identify themselves....lost in the crowd....trying to find a trail, a clue, a mentor....Who will guide them,lead them, take them towards their own soul, help them search themselves.....?

Who will guide me....
