What is your role?

Are you living life on auto-pilot, going through the routine and not exactly registering any detail? Are you stuck in some kind of a rat race that's zapping you off every ounce of energy you have? How often do you find yourself having to give up doing something because of the limitations that you encounter?

It just dawned on me that for a long time in my life, I've not paid attention to many things that I would probably now. It just dawned on me that it is actually not that daunting to try something that you've always thought of doing. It just dawned on me that the roles we're expected to play in society may actually impede our potential to become who or what we actually are. And many a times, such roles are what stifle a potentially different life.

Have you ever lamented there's nothing much to do around here and everything's just so darn boring? Have you ever wondered why some people seem to be having a ball, well, at least in your persective, while you seem to be stuck in a rut and doing the same boring thing every dawn and dusk? Have you ever asked yourself if falling into status quo is what you want in your life? Have you ever asked yourself what's wrong with doing things differently from the crowd?

What is your role? And what is mine?
