Long way to go …

“When it comes back to giving to society , don’t you think you are doing too less ..”  these words came from one of my best friends and they hit me like lightning . I am basically an introvert and my friend had asked me to take a small part in something that I felt a bit afraid of .. and I denied. But on hearing these words I felt a pang in my heart not because they came from a friend (I am happy that they came from my best friend and it has made our friendship grow even stronger)  but because they were clearly sounding true . Clearly the context is not as important as the message is. I am actually happy that I denied the first time because it gave me some space and some time to reflect on whether I was really progressing in life or whether I am just stagnant in life. It has planted a seed of gratefulness and am grateful to my friend to have shown me the right way and given me a chance to rethink and change my own decisions , to rise above my own inhibitions .. Finally we may reach a long way in our careers , in our passions but the question really is whether we have reached a long way in Life ..
