2021 Special: Find The Purpose of Your Life in Less Than 1 Minute

Every soul in this world is in a birth loop. Each iteration of the loop is a new birth, a new life. The soul gets a physical form in each birth. In one of the birth, you become a bird, in another, you might be a crocodile. The physical form is mortal. It's bound to die one day. The duration between birth and death is the lifespan. It is the period when the soul performs some actions.

One of our Puranas says that after eighty-four lac rebirths a soul gets to take birth as Man, the most evolved being. The soul gets a human body. Being born as the most evolved of all the living beings and the most privileged of them all, shouldn't we be taking our lifespan a little more seriously? 

The purpose of life

Bhagwat Geeta says every soul takes birth to serve a bigger purpose. Ram was born to kill Ravana. To teach a few principles to the world who had kind of lost it. He established the importance of dharma, which people often forget due to various selfish reasons. Likewise, every single soul has a purpose of coming to this world. What is left to us is to find that purpose? But how do we find it?

The answer is simple. By trying to find it. The lifespan is very limited. Life is precious. Why not make it efficient? I'm not trying to make you escape the chores and go to the mountains to find life's meaning. Not at all. The mountains would become dirty and lose their charm if so many people go and start inhabiting there. It would in turn destroy the mountain's purpose of being a mountain. All I'm asking is to live the same life with your mind involved. Never take things for granted. Accept the fact that you are privileged and value it. Be more creative, joyful, and mindful in every goddamn thing you do. 

The goal of life

It's so easy to be in vain. It requires no effort. Life will run in an autopilot mode where you let the surroundings control everything. We always rely on external triggers. The society has a structure which all of us follow. You complete your education, find a job, get married, have kids, retire, and then die. This template is meant only to guide you. It's you who has to be in charge of things. You have to plan and act according to you. My problem is that people have by hearted this template. They never find a second to think if it would suit them. Some people even make it their dream. Getting married to some person or finding a decent job. No, it's not the ultimate goal of life.

The goal should rather be focussed on three things i.e. creativity, joyfulness, and mindfulness:

Creativity in life

"How can I create something which didn't exist in this universe before? " This is the question one needs to ask himself. Our efforts should not go in vain. It must be accountable in some sense. Be it small or big, it doesn't matter. God lies in creativity. The world is a big canvas with so many shades. Anything and everything is possible here. Never be afraid of using the shade you want. Create a painting for yourself.  

Joyfulness in life

What is life without joy? It's equivalent to not living. We become joyless once we get into the grind of life. We struggle to make ends meet. And while doing so, we forget to enjoy the little things. We are constantly planning for the future. Attaching our happiness to future events. The present is ignored like we ignore our parents who are talking to us when we're using our phones. You have to be present in your present. Learn to celebrate. It keeps your brain healthy. And later you won't have regrets about missing it. 

 

Mindfulness in life

Be completely aware of yourself. Put your mind in whatever you do. Your attention is important for your work to be of the highest quality. Do not settle for substandard stuff. One who is free from all distractions and can focus can create a masterpiece. Even if you do a monotonous task, find ways of doing it more efficiently. Half-hearted efforts lead to mediocre results. The person then starts identifying himself as mediocre. No one is mediocre or average. It's just the matter of another try. You can change it. Always. 

Conclusion

Here I was trying to find some meaning in life. Hope you think about the above concepts and incorporate them to make your life better than before. I am positive that if more and more people follow this, the world would be a better place. And we would realize the gift life is.
