Life Purpose

Life Purpose

Hello Guys !! It’s been long since I published my last blog THE WORLD BEYOND FEAR. Today I’ve come up with a new topic which is LIFE PURPOSE. I am willing to put up my views about it in this article. I hope you guys would like it.

In our daily lives, we have heard many times from people talking about this word ‘Purpose’. Mostly when you’re attending some sort of motivational speech. All the successful people, entrepreneurs, saints, they all keep talking about understanding your purpose. They say it’s the key to achieve the extreme level of yourself. So what is this purpose actually ? What do they really mean when they ask us to know our purpose ? I’m sure there are 100s of questions we need answers for. But for me, this one question matters a lot. What’s my Purpose?

So our little talks today will be based on the this topic. We’ll try to find the answers. And I request the readers to please put up your views in the comment section.

There are people who we think are brilliant minded and that they can help us with all our problems. So when people ask them “What should I do with my life?” or “What is the purpose of my life?”, they don’t really mean to know why they are here on the earth for, all they want to know is What should they do right now in order to save themselves from the people around who’re going to judge them anyway. So there’s a big difference between The Life Purpose and the question we ask.

When we were kids, many of us might have told our parents that we are going to be engineers, pilots, doctors or whatever. And after this many years, when we find ourselves studying for something we’d never even thought we would or working for something which was never on our priority list, doesn’t it make any sense? We were never aware of the purpose and I doubt if we still are.

Most of us have no clue what we want to do with our lives or what the life expects from us. Even after we finish the school, even after we get a job, even after we start making money, we don’t really understand the life’s purpose. It’s kind of a struggle that every adult goes through. “What am I passionate about?”, “What can I do with my life which would make it worth?”, “What is it I don’t suck at?”
All these questions are worth thinking for when it comes to finding the purpose of life. I’ve seen the people in their 40s who have no clue what they want from their lives. And it gets harder as you grow old.

The main cause of the problem is the concept of ‘Life Purpose’ itself. The idea that each of us were born to complete some higher purpose of life and now it’s our cosmic mission and responsibility to know what that is and make sure it is done before we die. This is the same sort of logic used to justify that you go to hell if you do the wrong karma. Now who decides what’s wrong and what’s right?

According to me, what we call it as a Life Purpose is something which consists of your life goals, the central motivating aims of your life, the reasons why you get up every morning to do something better. Your Purpose is something that can guide your life decisions, shape your goals, offer a sense of direction, and create meaning to your life. For some people, purpose is connected to vocation like meaningful, satisfying work. For others, their purpose lies in their responsibilities towards their family or friends. Others seek meaning through spirituality or religious beliefs. Some people may find their purpose clearly expressed in all these aspects of life. When your authentic purpose becomes clear, you will be able to share it with the whole world and the world would accept you for that.

Actually the truth is we all are here on earth for very limited time and we have no idea which day will be our last. During this undetermined period of time, we do things, some of them are important while some are unimportant. But these important things give our lives meaning and happiness. And the unimportant ones just kill the time. But that doesn’t mean that the unimportant things are useless. Because there is no meaning to Good if there is no bad. So both are necessary to be done. And they increase the value of life.

So when we talk about life’s purpose, you need to know it’s all about how you live up to your expectations.

WHAT’S MY LIFE PURPOSE?

I think it’s impossible for anyone to answer this question. You see, This life is 100% your responsibility and no one else knows what your life purpose is, except you. You’re the one and only who can make this life worth living. All it takes is to get off your ass and keep working for the greater good without complaining for the things you don’t have or the things you wish you had. Life’s Purpose is to live. To live the life at its fullest and to make it count. To do the things which give meaning to your life, to laugh unreasonably, to discover your happiness and to be grateful for this life, for everything.

A very amazing line said by Steve Jobs which is very close to my heart –

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”

When you start thinking this way, you know you’ve got nothing to lose. So the aim becomes clear and so is the purpose which is simply to live.

So that’s all for today. I hope you’d like this blog. And do share it with your friends and family if you like it. And let me know what you think about this. Comment down your views in the comment section.

LIVE THIS LIFE ! LOVE THIS LIFE !
