Only one thing remains forever new till the end of life. It is knowing and rediscovering oneself constantly in new ways. All other things in life become old sooner or later. And how do we know, how do we rediscover ourselves? The answer is very simple. Life is an accumulation of numerous chapters just like a book. At every chapter of life we find ourselves in a new role. It is through our new roles that we come to know about ourselves in new ways. Only we need to keep ourselves engaged in some activity. The rest happens quite automatically. Thus we come to know about our strengths and weaknesses also. That prepares and equips us to face the external world.
At the early stage of life we are the children of our parents, then we become the life partner of someone, father or mother of our children. Then comes the stage to play the role of grandparents. Thus broadly also our life is designed in a way where we need to play different roles at different ages, multiple roles at the same age, and keep on rediscovering ourselves.
One must always try to be himself, not someone else.
