The Purpose of Life

Recently, I came across a thought provoking article on internet, while defining the Human Strength, the article defines human beings as no less powerful then the God, the master creator and our potential no less staggering.

The most impressive part of the article was definition of the Human Power. The author said, we human beings are the “Co-Creators” of the Universe, along side God. God in fact has made us partners in Creation, such is our strength. God created universe, we created music, God Created Sand and Stones, we created Pyramids, He created Brain, we created minds, he created life, we created love, we created language that allows us to express our thoughts and emotions.

The point I want to drive through this is that we, as human beings are very POWERFUL, each individual life has and can be a POWERFUL PURPOSE, a supposedly meaningful contributory stint on this earth. A purpose to leave this earth better then what we came in. Despite the importance of PURPOSE, many of us still flounder and drift in unknown direction through out the key part of our lives. Majority of us lead a “Dishaheen” and aimless life, spending it as it comes.

Why’s that? While ignorance is the one of the factor, I feel the biggest reason is FEAR, the fear to fail, the apprehension to take any risk just because what our peers, close relatives, friends would think and say if we are unsuccessful. How the Society would treat us if we fail to achieve. We dread to set our targets because we may miss it and gradually this becomes our way of life, wandering aimlessly and living an average Vanila life. To avoid failure, we avoid having a purpose in life.

I feel, the time has come to shed this “ORSTRICH STRATEGY” : hiding from the adversity of life by burying our head in the ocean of sand.

If we don’t stand for something, we may fall for anything. What is the purpose of living if we don’t have something to live for?

A life of PURPOSE is not without effort. But I am sure, the time has come, to ask myself, "Which is the better rosebush, that with the fewest thorns or that with the finest roses?"

Blood, Sweat, Pain and Tears are the ingredients for achievement of the very PURPOSE of life. Let's not spend time; let's use it; use it to make a difference. You never know when the time comes and you may have to leave everything and go.. go for ever from where you can never return back

Suddenly I feel, the famous proverb makes lot of sense: "Make sure the thing you're doing and living for is worth dying for."

Time to set the very PURPOSE for Life? Time to set for to realize the Dreams? Hope you agree?

Lets get ready…
