A long solo ride, lonely room, sky watching, staring at the moon and sometimes a few minutes of meditation arise many thoughts in me. Instead of thoughts, I can call them questions as most of them start or ends with Why, How, What or When. And I love to ask myself many questions and answer them from my perspective so I get to know what kind of person I am. This is my way of self-realization you can say.
So, as many thoughts or questions popped out inside my head,
this one badly wanted my answer – “What is your purpose?”. During my school
days, I have felt I don’t have a purpose. But my spiritual mindset always mentions
people are here for a purpose. And I used to think “Is finding one’s purpose is
the purpose of their life?”. I don’t know if all live with a purpose.
But I think I have defined this from my own perspective and I know
it’s susceptible to change based on my future experiences. So here is what this
man thinks about the purpose of his life.
There are many people born, became great and achieved a lot.
For me, Abdul Kalam is one of the exemplars. But in my perspective, not all human
beings are born with those great purposes. Our purpose can be as simple as
bringing hope to someone or living by discipline or being helpful to someone.
It can also be as simple as feeding a pet or keeping your home clean or gaining
insight into something. For me,
“Purpose is living my life the way I want (without hurting
anyone) and bringing positive change to my surroundings”
But do you know how these things are determined? By your
direction and choices
Our life is a journey and it is dependent on a lot many
factors where our decision makes the turn! Whatever decision you make, don’t regret
or worry about it. If you have done wrong, try to change it in future. As the
saying, it’s the journey which makes thing fruitful than the destination, be at
your own pace and enjoy your life!!
Here is a reflection of a person I don’t know but I think - helping
the street dogs may be her purpose. Referring to my old post – The
Guardian of Dogs
