Too Fast Too Furious

Two questions:
Q1. How many of us have ever tought about the direction we wish to take in our life?
No doubt, we all would have.
Q2. How many of us still travel in the same direction, we wished to take at the beginning of our journey in life?
I doubt even a single one.

Oftentimes we set-off our life's journey in a particular direction. We will have definite dreams we want to realize, passions we want to carry along and goals we want to achieve.
But, as days pass by, we drift off from the path we decided to pursue. We are carried around in different directions, like an ungoverned ship in the middle of a stromy sea. We forget what our dreams are. We forget our passions and strive very hard for fulfilling others goals. That too in a very fast pace.
Before we realize that we are not travelling in the direction we wished for, most of our fuel would have run out. We have worked too fast and in too furious a manner, to satisfy others needs. At the end we are left with lots of unrealized dreams, unpursued passions and unfulfilled goals.

Why should it happen this way? Why should the boat of life get caught in the stormy sea? Is there no way that we could steer back to the right direction? Lots of questions arise...

There is nothing we could do to stop the storm. The world is now in an age where even nanoseconds count. It has become just another natural phenomenon. Everybody has to run to keep up with tight schedules and targets. The work environment is ever changing and fast-paced. Some days the influence of storm will be disastrous and some times mild; but there will be storm everyday.
Only way we could avoid the storm is anchor the ship in a harbour. But then, what is the use? A ship is meant to sail; not to float idle in the harbour. We cannot sit idle and say 'I am safe'. We sit idle, and the world moves around at a rate, that within no time we realize that we are left behind the crew by thousands of miles.
We have to lead the journey. And we have to do in the way we wished for.
