Me Only

**🌿 “Me Only” – A Siddharth Story

Siddharth is not  happy as books, thoughts, and goals are  leading him  astray or make his  life.

Siddharth was seventeen. A quiet boy who read everything he could find—motivation books, crime novels, spiritual texts, even social-media quotes that promised overnight success.

 But one evening his teacher, Guru Keshav, saw him confused and restless. “What troubles you have ,Siddharth?”

 Siddharth sighed. “Guruji… my friends say different things, the books say something else, and my own thoughts keep changing. Sometimes I feel I am walking on their path, not mine.

 How do I know what is right for me?”

 Guru Keshav smiled and picked up a mirror. “Look into it. What do you see?”
 
“Me only,”

 Siddharth replied. “That,” the Guru said gently, “is the beginning of wisdom. Books can guide you. Friends can inspire you. Thoughts can confuse you.

 But the decision… the direction… the discipline… belongs to Me Only — you alone.”

 They walked to the old banyan tree where many students once sat seeking answers. Guru said:

 “Siddharth, wrong reading and wrong company can lead you astray. Right reading, right thoughts, right goals — they can create your life. But choosing between right and wrong is a responsibility that belongs to you only.

 Not your friends, not your books… but ‘Me Only’.” Something clicked in Siddharth’s heart. That night he returned home and cleared his table. He kept only three things:
 1. A blank notebook.
 2. A simple pen.
 3. A quote he wrote himself:

 “The world can show the way, but the walk is Me Only.”

 Years later, when Siddharth became a counselor, he told his students the same truth:

 “Your life will be shaped by what you read and whom you follow— but your destiny will be shaped by Me Only. By your choices.”
