Our pursuits need not be external or tangible at all. In fact, our inner growth is one of the most reliable and consistent challenges we all can have. Each stage of life has multitude of learning opportunities. I hope to keep growing till the day I die. The digest version has been popular. It's a lot of work to prepare two versions, but I definitely understand that people don't have time to read my long proses. Plus, I want to work more on being succinct -- as I think that's ultimately more powerful than extended essays. I'm just not developed enough to be able to say what I need to say in 5 sentences. ;-) ari Hi Bamboo,

Working on ourselves spiritually by improving our character traits is also deeply rewarding. It's cool you do a digest version of a longer post. I've never seen that before, way to go for thinking outside of the box!

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. Now, I definitely hear you on being tired thinking about some of the challenges facing you. And one of my next posts is going to address that. Challenges are challenges -- they are not walk in the park. And it takes a lot of investment on your part to tackle them. The question is, why do we not have the resources to make that investment? Stay tuned! ;-) ari Hi Ajith,

However, this attitude is tied to the age as well... Though, in my mid thirty's I already feel a bit tired while thinking on how to go about certain known challenges!
