The Lost- Purpose
I've came to realise something recently. In such a high-speed and technologically advanced society we live in today, peope are constantly so crop up in keeping up and catching up with the world that they tend to overlook the most crucial things in life. Take a minute and think about it, the number one thing people are constantly vying and focusing for is "Making it BIG", getting the wealth, the fame, and of course the glory. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against prosperity, however I feel that its getting out of hand, that people these days are so obsessed they are willing to do "INSANE" things to reach that level of "Glory". Yes, crazy things, and in that process losing their intergrity, respect and accountability to themselves. My question to you today is, do you feel satisfied with life? Do you feel that there's something missing in your life, but you don't know what? Well, if your answer is yes. What you're missing is a purpose. Without a purpose, you're probably just following the crowd. Without a purpose there won't be a "driving-force" behind what you do. You will just do what you're told. But NO! It should never be that way! The worst thing that can ever happen to a anybody is NOT losing all their material wealth, neither is it losing one dearest to them, but the worst thing that can ever happen to a person, is he/she living life aimlessly, without a purpose! Then he/she will just do things just for the sake of doing them. Never finding any joy or fulfillment. For example studying, if you don't know your purpose, and dont have a vision in life, chances are you won't do well. However, it's when you know you're not here just to fight, challenge, or compete, but to accomplish, then you understand your true purpose. And when you do find it, your purpose, you'll realise that there is no way any amount of wealth can ever exchange or buy that sense of joy and satisfaction.
