Question Yourself

HOW often do we push ourselves beyond our normal limits?
How often do we keep running even though our legs are aching, our lungs are burning?
How often do you have to say No till someone understands you really mean it?
How often do you have to prove yourself so that people trust you?
How often do we say maybe when we mean never, say never when we mean yes?
How often do we deny what our bodies are telling us, what some deep, hidden part of us is whispering to us? We wander around aimlessly attempting to find ourselves when really we could have spared ourselves the trouble by just sitting down and thinking about it for a moment. A moment when the world is quiet so we may shout to ourselves, get a grip on our own collars, give ourselves a mental shake and say Look. This is you. This is who you have been, and who you will be. This is the mind you have nurtured unknowingly, and these are the values instilled in you gradually. These are the people you know, the people you love, the people you get annoyed with and the people you meet and never quite touch. These are the things that you do; so what are you going to do next?
