Last night my wife and myself were having a casual chat. On being asked what I would like my daughter to be and how I would handle her when she grows up, my answer was straight from my heart,
"Co-incidentally, fortunately or unfortunately, by default, I am your father and you are my daughter. But that does not give me the right to take control of your life. Its your life. GOD has given a life to everybody. I have mine, which I try to make the most of. HE has given one to you - its GOD's gift to you.
"You decide how you will take care of the gift. So that one day when you look back, you should not repent, feeling you have wasted the opportunity.
"After all, at the end of the day, you should take decision of and control on your life. One day you have to learn how to survive alone in this world. You should be able to find happiness for yourself. And I dont know which path will bring you that. There is no singular way to achieve this. Do it the way you think brings you the pleasure. Follow your heart. Dont ignore your brain. Dont think what others will be thinking about you. Believe me, thats a complete waste of time and energy.
"Above all, Be honest with yourself. Be truthful to soul. You can fool everyone in the world, but not yourself.
"Remember, Its YOUR life...live it like you always wanted to!"
