You can’t give from an empty vessel.
You can’t help with a tired mind.

So don’t be the one with all the solutions.
Don’t be the friend who is forever available.
Don’t be the one with perfectly chosen words.

You can’t cheer another from a heart that is anything but cheerful.
You can’t calm someone else when a storm rages in your own mind.

Don’t make that effort.
Don’t put so much thought that you’re left with nothing but nonchalance.
Stop.
Save thyself from thyself for thyself.

It’s not a phase. It’s a lesson.
And life has a way of repeating itself
until the lesson is learnt, for good.

I wanted to be a cine star, walk on ramp, and roam in luxurious cars! some years later... I aimed to be a doctor, treat the patients and fly over a copter! Then I thought, what about an air-hostess? wear western-cloths and travel all around the whole world! Started loving science of social, Reminded the old school patriotism, wanna serve my country, stop the corruption and punish the traitors! I know it mightn't be innate and not a bed of roses too... But, I know if your motives are true..., there's nothing to stop you!
