Lets understand the difference and bridge it...

You never realize it as it requires you to be very watchful of yourself, your thoughts. But once it gets your attention you can start taking it apart..one by one..piece by piece. Be very careful while discerning the differences. The difference between what one IS, and what one WANTS TO BE. So many times we have this idea of our ideal self burnt in our mind and we talk, portray ourselves and take decisions assuming that we have attained that ideal without realizing that all the efforts in that direction either never made any headway or were put on back burner long ago. And if you are lucky..you come across a mirror one day..and if you are watchful it might catch your eye..you look at yourself very closely and say to yourself 'Gosh..I am so not me'...and then the tough work starts..yes ..very tough !!
