“To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment.” ―James Allen
It’s 6 pm on a hot summer Sunday. You’ve been gardening all afternoon with the sun beating down on you from every direction. You skipped lunch and have built up an appetite so large you could consume a whole cow. Well at this point nothing is going to stop you from eating. Absolutely nothing right? So now you’re mowing down on some delicious food. What you should try to understand is that your why for eating such a large portion today was driven by your previous actions of gardening. Why are you eating?? Because you are famished of course. I am simply trying to illustrate that once you have a strong enough why, nothing will stop you from the end goal. In this case it just happens to be wolfing down that meatloaf so quick you forgot you ate it.
Confused? Let my try to paint this eloquent picture very clearly for you. What is your purpose is such a deep question. Many people don’t seem to want to think of this question and go on to lead wholly unfulfilling lives. Your purpose is not to be a servant your hole life, I can tel you that much for sure. I believe everyone has some similar purposes that will eventually lead them to their own unique purpose. For example Everyone has a purpose to definitely become the best they can be. In that purpose, as you strive to attain greatness for yourself. you will inevitably stumble upon many other unique purposes for yourself as well. This will have a ripple effect which starts off as a tiny circle, but balloons VERY quickly to an all encompassing ring of bountiful exuberance. Again with this specific purpose, pursuing the heights of your own being will invariably be beneficial to those around you and must put you in an elite category of humans.
The bottom line is, you are more than just a life laid out to you by societies standards. You must have the courage and the will to pursue this purpose, and once found, you will feel something I cannot describe to you in words. So please take a moment to think of what it is that really gets you going. Is is food, is it seeing others satisfied with your work, or is it even staring debates and getting people to know your point of view? Whatever it is attack it. Be the best you can be at it and the world will be yours to explore. Always remember a definite purpose in life is the beginning step to ever lasting accomplishment and happiness!
