One question we are often too busy to ask

The truth is in life everyone is so busy with one thing or the other. There are other people who have devoted their lives to their work, education, source of income, families just to name a few. We find ourselves struggling day in day out and everyday, it seems to get worse with each passing day. We feel we must do even more to succeed and we forcefully continue to push ourselves to reach a point only God knows.

The other day, i was in school and i just wished that i could just carry my books, go back home and just have a great time. While thinking this, i remembered a moment during one of my breaks that i also wished i was in school and i even thought at that moment that there was nothing more fun than school. In the midst of thinking about these two contradicting instances, the big question popped up in my head.

What do you really want?

This is the question that just popped up in my head and i could hardly answer it. At that moment during my school period, home seemed like the greatest place to be and during my breaks, school seems like the best place on planet earth.
So what is it i really wanted?
And that is it, humans at times are so confused that they don't even know what we want at some points. We seem to be busy and so caught up in the issues and cares of life that we never take a halt to ask that simple question of what you really want in life or what you are after?

Is it not funny that a final year university student tells you that she is pursuing a degree just because her family asked her to? Funny right but that is the truth. Many people are so busy with so many things but at the end of the day they cannot even tell you what they really want.Their minds is just fixated like a machine that only knows it has to follow instructions. That is what so many people so busy on the streets are. Doing what they have to do, what they must do but what about what you want?

You find so many people out there so confused at times on what to do that they look really crazy and worked out. And it is in such situations that you find so many people busy doing all sorts of things and juggling all sorts of unrelated kind of work, activities etc simply because they are confuse and don't really know what they want in the first place. So they do all they can in such a state to flow along with most of the ideas they have in their heads.

So today, i just want you reading this post to take a break from whatever thing you might be doing and give it a few minutes thought and ask yourself this simple question and it may turn your life around.
