Finding Purpose of Life

I have been left unanswed for a question in my life for a long time.You would have guessed the question and it is – ‘What is my bigger purpose of my life’. Though I am not able to find one for me but got some experience and pointers and I am hopeful to find my answer very soon. Well in the search for the answer, I came across a few points which can help anyone in finding purpose of life (given that they are looking for the answer!!)


Before I continue, one disclaimer – This blog is based on my experience and it might turn that a few or all points are irrelevant to a few or all. In this case a gentle request – please let me know any other points which can be helpful to find bigger purpose of my life.

Coming back to the topic, below are my pointers:

1) Always listen to your heart – Apart from finding answer to most complex problem of life, it helps in keeping young. Also, one would never have any regret, even 20 years down the life, of making a wrong decision at any point of time. Further this is highly useful when there is a conflict between mind and heart. Mind is always rational, thinks of material comfort and is always selfish but heart is pure, irrational but honest (this is the reason we like a smile on 3 year kid face – its selfless). In fact as rightly said by Blaise Pascal – “the heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing”.






2) Follow the omens – This is taken from Paulo Coehlo ‘The Alchemist’. I really believe in this. But the only question remains is how to find an omen and the answer is just see around yourself, see in everything you are doing is there anything related to something you like or you are struck with. In such a case even a small pointer becomes omen….and remember about beginners luck as told by Coehlo.





3) Believe in your dreams - Whether the dreams are when you are sleeping or awake – just believe in them. Nothing is impossible and half the work is done when you know what needs to be done. Even if dreams are unrealistic just believe in yourself and Almighty (in whatsoever form!!)





4) Explore the hobby you love doing most - There is some hidden message in anything you like. It can be as vague as singing song or lending a helping hand to anyone. If you don’t have any hobby which you love – try other hobbies. Range of hobbies can vary from  gardening, sketching, writing poetries, doing social work, reading novels,…literally anything!! But try each hobby with your best attempt and even if you do not find best hobby…you have learned multiple skills to spend your free time in ‘something different’.




5) Don’t hold to anything - Well this is the mistake I have done many times. Something which has happened in past is past but we are not willing to accept it. We carry old memories and sometimes get lost in them. Letting go off is very important and it also allows us to feel the beauty of new things coming our way. But remember one thing – don’t bury the past in hatred…it was your relation, your time everything was your so don’t blame other person or circumstances for anything that has happened to you. Accept the reality and never have any negative views as it stops the positive aura or things you should be open to!!






6) Believe in forgiveness - This is continuity of the above point. If you can forgive and forget…that’s all. In this case no hatred, no negative comments, no burden and whatsmore you are not cursing anyone when they are not there!!





7) Talk to near and dear ones – They are those who knows your strengths and weakness, can really give constructive feedback but only thing you need to do is to talk with them – communicate honestly in trustworthy enviornment. Don’t be rigid and willing to follow suggestions otherwise no one will worry about you next time and in case you do not like any suggestion even after trying one – try another!! Keep trying and keep changing.





8) It’s now or never - Anything you are supposed to do….definitely do it – don’t delay it for any reason.May be its a small thing like saying a sorry to your friend or telling your true feelings to someone special. Because at times we might regret of not doing something because we keep on delaying it and then one day there was no reason for doing it or it was too late to do that thing.






9) Always belief that there is a bigger reason for your existence – This is one of the most important thing. Keep in mind that you are not there ‘just’ to be a good son, student, employee, friend, relative,…..but something beyond that. Just imagine that there are 6 billion people on this planet and if everyone ‘just’ wants to be satisfied with what they have, what presently they are doing and focusing their responsibilities on a few one – there cannot be any great social change!! There needs to be someone who can think above the social clutters and this can be anyone – even YOU





So that’s all from my side…in case of any comment, do share it....
