# A Passionate Soul #

Once there were two stones.

They looked like a small sized rock lying on the bank of a flowing river.

One day they were having a conversation about their Life.

1st Stone: “What is our Life all about?

What is our purpose in this big world, a world which we haven’t explored yet?

Since a couple of years, we are just lying at the same place without moving an inch.

2nd Stone: Yes, that is so true.

But it’s good that we are settled here…

We are safe and secure… our Life is flowing slowly and steadily.

We don’t have any problems.

1st stone: Yes, that’s the problem I feel.

We have a constant flow of Life without any changes.

Everyone and everything in this world have a purpose to be fulfilled, for which they are created.

Of course, we have a Life, but we are not Alive. We are not giving justice to our existence. This is not what I want from my Life.

2nd Stone: Why do you want to complicate things?

Just relax and be where you are… look around you, there are many others lying here. But not all are as good as we are…

Some are little broken… some don’t have the shape and size we are blessed with…!

1st Stone: Yes, we are grateful for this life and that’s why I want to be worth our blessings.

I want to resolve my purpose of existence and do what my heart desires… do something for which I have been created for.

If we will not try to change and accept new beginnings, I am afraid we will be stuck here all our Life.

~ I fear regret and I hate this constant Life ~

I want to flow passionately like this flowing river…

I want to drag myself from Live to Alive…!

2nd Stone: What’s wrong with this constant Life?

Anyways life will pass this way.

Nothing is great… but nothing is even bad though.

1st Stone: Then why not to follow our heart, listen to our soul and trust the vibes of the energy we all have inside us.

Winters have past, summers are gone and look at the clouds, the rains are back again.

2nd Stone: Oh Yes, it seems like time is flying and seasons have become short.

1st Stone: When we don’t do something productive and when we don’t really live our moments, we feel like days, months and years are passing so soon.

We feel so because we don’t have anything to remember about the time which is lost in the past.

2nd Stone: So, what else we can do also???

We don’t have any options.

1st Stone: It’s all in the mind. The truth is that we always have an option.

I want to Live my passion and write my story on the shores of time…!

2nd Stone: What if the story doesn’t go well?

1st Stone: It hardly matters, if we have the best story in Life… What matters is, there should be Life in the story we live…!

2nd Stone: So, when and where you will start your story?

1st Stone: When the rain is at its peak and the river would be flowing in full stream. I will jump in the river and I believe it will take me to a new place… which will bring a change of phase with a new Life.

2nd Stone: Are you serious?

Don’t you realize that the fast-flowing stream of water can destroy us, break us and throw us to a place which we can’t imagine also….!

I am happy here with my constant life.

I am not going to join you in this.

I am afraid of the consequences.

1st Stone: And I am afraid of the regret...

I can’t live with the regret thinking; wish I would have put some efforts at the right time, then my story would have been different…

May be far more beautiful than what I Live now.

It’s the voice of my soul… I must listen to it…!

Soon the rain started, and it was quite heavy this time, worse than ever.

But the 1st Stone has taken his call, so he jumped into the river.

Soon he was washed away in the stream … flowing … hitting the rocks hard.

Meanwhile the 2nd Stone was waiting at the same place.

But unfortunately, this time nature was not in the favor of being constant. Rain increased and soon it flooded the nearby areas also.

2nd Stone was also pushed away in the stream of water. Though he was not much affected as the flow became less till then.

After a few days, when clouds became a bit silent.

Both the stones met again near the other sides of the river.

2nd Stone looked at the 1st Stone and said look what have you done to yourself.

See your passion has broken you.

You have become small and you are brushed hard from all the sides.

At least I am still bigger and better. Your voice of soul has dragged you to nowhere. Your story is finished, and your purpose is lost.

1st Stone was shattered completely. But still he was satisfied that he followed his heart. At least he will live rest of his Life with no regrets…!

Days to months and months to years passed.

One day some people came and started construction at that site.

They used all the regular and proper stones to build a room near the river side.

They also took the 2nd Stone and placed it at the entrance of the room.

Now 2nd Stone said to the 1st Stone, look I got my purpose also.

If you were not small and out of shape, even you would have got a purpose.

All the stones lying there were used and only the 1st Stone was left alone. So those people threw that stone towards the river and left.

After couple of months, again few people came there, and they found the 1st Stone lying at the edge of the river.

They took the stone and placed inside the room.

Now that small and shapeless stone was worshipped in that room,

which was built by all the regular and shaped stones.

1st Stone was finally dragged from Live to Alive as the voice of his soul whispered…

~ The purpose is fulfilled & The story is just started~
