Do it the way you want to do it ...

I just wanted to share a wonderful poem by Oriah which I happened to read recently. Its really nice one. Just read it and feel it.

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
for your dream,
for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow,
if you have been opened by life's betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain,
mine or your own,
without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy,
mine or your own,
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us to be areful,
to be realistic,
to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself,
if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul;
if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty,
even when it's not pretty,
every day,
and if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure,
yours and mine,
and still stand on the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,

"Yes!"

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up,after the night of grief and despair,
weary and bruised to the bone,
and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not
shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you,
from the inside,when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Its wonderful poem from Oriah.
It makes you to listen to your hearts. Follow your inner urge. It makes us to think that the life without the passion is nothing. Everyone has passions for something but during the daily fight in our mechanical life we tend to loose our passion.

For moment think about the passion and embrace it and then see how it feels when u have passion for something and u do it the way you want to do it.

After all its your own life and live it the way you want. Imagine how it feels, when one fine day at the fag end of your life, you see you lived all through the life without any passions. Atleast once in a while do what u feel like doing, listen to your heart, listen to your inner urge and do it the without really worrying about the consequences of it.
