Thinking while moving along..

Life is name of achievements or is it really . Is it end all and be all. In a very wierd way how much the achivements mean to us or the people around us comes down to what are we expected of by our family, our peers, etc etc. But how much it satisfies you. Are we living a life defined and outlined by other people, are we basically doing what we should and shouldnt do. Sometimes I feel while doing so we lose our selves, our spirit , by the time we reach to the end and turn back , we had already missed our true self some where on our way and the journey ends while the soul remains unsettled and wanders and is but some where all alone..
