Discovering your purpose

The happiest, the most fulfilled, the most successful, the most content, the most enlightened among us are the people that at some stage of their life realised what they are here for.   They realised and recognised their calling. They drew and continue to draw their inspiration from the clarity of their purpose, a defined goal and a crystal vision of who they are, what they want and what they are here for.  They embody a life of serenity, contentment, and happiness.

 They are not the chosen ones, they did not get there by a privileged right, inheritance or luck.  They are the blessed ones among us that appreciated in their own time and in their own way that they are here for a cause, a vocation, a job, a purpose or whatever.  They trusted their feelings and the messages from within and acted on the confidence that they are on the right path. Anyone of us has within us all the ingredients, abilities and potential to realise our life’s purpose and define a goal, a path for our life. 

 Don’t seek serenity, contentment and happiness let it come as a matter of course. 

When you seek them they become very elusive and attempting to get them then requires a lot of HARD WORK!

In search of the Holy Grail:

There are people who go from one analyst, therapist, guru to another, there are hundreds of schemes, therapies, routes, methods, media and whatever you name it that promises and raises your hope of freedom, salvation, health, wealth and happiness.  You use this or that method, they suggest to get rid of your ‘blocks’,and you can have whatever.  Some work on your childhood, relationship with parents and your upbringing in general, others tap into your inner guilt, inadequacy, self-esteem and self-worth.  I do not argue about the effectiveness of these practices on various aspects of our lives, but they are mere attempts and mostly superficial. Hence they cause more disillusion and frustration. 

No therapy, no spiritual guidance, nothing will change, and we will achieve nothing until we change our feeling about who we really are and what we really want. The real achievement and salvation is in our own hands.  We have our own destiny and decisions in our own hands:

 UNLESS WE DECIDE TO CHANGE OR ACHIEVE, NO CHANGE AND NO ACHIEVEMENT HAPPENS.

 You just focus on living life, do the work, foster relationships that bring a smile to your face and makes you proud of who you are.  The rest will follow. 

 Some of as are like onions, layers and layers of self-imposed or family imposed or society imposed negative thoughts, emotions.
