The Two Lives We Live

Today’s Reading:

“The Two Lives We Live”

We all live two lives.

The first is the one we show — full of routine, responsibilities, carefully chosen words, and practiced smiles. It’s the version that fits into society's script:
Wake up. Work. Scroll. Sleep. Repeat.

The second life? That’s the real one.
The one we feel when it’s just us and the silence.
The thoughts that visit in the middle of the night.
The dreams we keep hiding because “log kya kahenge.”
The doubts we bury under busyness.
The spark that flickers when we speak about what we really want.

But here’s the brutal truth:

Most people die in their first life…
…and never even start the second.

So the question is —
Will you live a life that’s expected of you?
Or will you have the courage to build the one that belongs to you?

Maybe today is not about hustle.
Maybe it’s about realignment.
