Who are we...?

All of us or at least most of us are not who we are!....sounds strange?

No, I am not out of my mind...it is a fact,  not many of us would like to acknowledge. From the day we are born, with us takes birth the other us. Yes, we are twins technically but there is a shade of difference - they grow way faster than us. While we stumble to take our first steps , they are already a doctor, an engineer, a bureaucrat, an entrepreneur or a famous personality!

Such strong is the bond, that we are never jealous or insecure about the twin -  rather we see ourselves as one. We dream about walking hands in hands with them - while many actually do, many imagine ! Isn't it so much more easier? A perfect world and the perfect us. We are free, nothing stifles our potential, nothing pulls us back.

It sounds lucrative and enticing, but soon we realize that the twin keeps leaping and jumping to greater heights and while we sit surrounded by a mind and heart full of wishes and desires, wondering how to reach there. The gap between both continues to widen and finally one day we either break out of this web of unfulfilled desires or break down.

By the time we have broken out, leaped and jumped, barely reaching where the other one sat, they would have climbed few more flight of stairs - and the cycle continues...

The twin is our imaginary self...it is created by our parents but grows with us and in us. The other self plays multiple roles with equal dexterity and competence - it is a CEO one moment and a wanderlust traveller in the other.

The real world is imperfect and we might not be transitioning so smooth but that's not the idea....the idea is to make the life of your dreams and live it to the fullest...!
Wouldn't it be great if we could make ourselves so flexible, so agile, so fearless and so free!!
