Imagine sitting in a
car with the engine on. You are all ready to go. But, wait! Where will you go?
Should you go straight or left or to the right. Do you know the direction?
Okay, you feel that
you can just drive around and figure it out on the way. So you geared up and
raised the accelerator and followed the road. You keep going and you see so
many turns. You never know where to go. To the right or to the left? Or should
you just go straight? You choose a random path and you travel believing to
reach some destination. You feel confused and frustrated because you did not
know where to go. At the beginning, it seemed like fun and exploring. But as
you kept traveling you kind of found it irrelevant and you even started
questioning why should you drive in the first place. And then, suddenly your
car stops. The diesel has worn out.
Your life is exactly
like a car. If you do not know where you are going and what you are doing
with your life. Then you will be lost somewhere not knowing how to move
forward. Before you figure it out, most of your life will be done.
Therefore it is
always good to know where we are going and what is our purpose. So that it will
give us a sense of direction and clarity. This will reduce your stress level
and will help you make use of your finite life in the healthiest way. The direction is needed to move forward.
1. Ponder over your life
Ask yourself what is
your real purpose in life. Why do you think you were put on this earth for?
Sometimes, we don’t
even know the answer to these questions.
At times like that,
just ask yourself "what are the skills that I have? What inspires me? How
do I want to live?"
You will have a
picture of how you want to you in your mind. Even if it seems unrealistic at
that moment, just ponder over that.
Question yourself,
"What is the important thing in my life?", "How do I want to
serve people?"
Answer all these
questions and keep questioning on how to live the dream life. Please note that you should question yourself in a constructive way. Avoid questions like
"What if I don’t know what to do?", "What if I fail in
everything?", "What I did not even find a purpose in my life?"
Questions yourselves
to elevate the kind of life you live. Not to degrade it.
2. Take opportunities
Sometimes, we find
out we like something and we are good at it only if we try it out. So do not
say no to new opportunities. Take new actions and observe if you are enjoying
what you are doing.
Also, do not expect
or push yourselves to love everything you do. We are humans and we should be
imperfect. Do not be hard on yourselves trying to be good at everything you do.
You can do mistakes and you are completely allowed to do.
3. Be patient
Do not try to figure
out everything within 25 years of age. Some people are lucky enough to know
what they are set to do at earlier stages of life. And some of us, need
more experience to understand our purpose and work for it.
But, no matter what
never stop exploring more. We are all a pool of immense potential. Everyone you
know is capable of wonders. We don’t perform to our best only because we have
not yet explored our inner world yet. Once you start exploring it then you will
find your purpose.
