ARCHITECTS OF GREATNESS

I lay on my bed doing nothing, watching time pass.

The seconds adding up to minutes,

minutes to hours.

I was enclosed in my own head,

wondering as usually the answers that had become questions of life. Why things happen the way they do,

why people act the way they do,

why life was designed this way.

There is a saying that goes *we are the architect of our own lives*, to take it further we chose our own designs, but how much of that is true.

There are obviously things that are out of our control,

 those situations that limit the options we have,

doesn't that show, that we are being pushed to a certain direction, like a leaf blown by the wind.

If we were truely architects,

wont words like fate and destiny be nullified.

I'm a big believer of the importance of the singularity of a being.

The greatest knowledge a person can aquire is

 self knowledge.

The more you know yourself, the easier it is to carve your future,

 to build your work,

 to rise or descend, depending on your choosing.

But to attain such knowledge, one must put aside a lot of things,

 most which will leave you at the mercy of the world and reduce you to nothing

 but a seedling with dreams of becoming an oak tree.

But you can do it. 
I believe you need to

 *KNOW YOURSELF TO KNOW THE WORLD*.

It starts with you before anything else.

We might all live on the same planet but we come from different worlds.

We all see things differently and have different opinions on things,

 but thats not necessarily a bad thing.

 We are architects,

but also someones design,

 we know what we expect of our designs,

 so we should also know what is expected of us and i can assure you,

 its nothing less of greatness
