The purpose of Life
“Life has no meaning.
Each of us has meaning
and we bring it to life.
It is a waste to be asking the question
when you are the answer.”
-JOSEPH CAMPBELL
What is the Purpose of Life?
"WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MY LIFE?"
This one single question had bothered me a lot. I guess you are also having this question in your mind. Correct OR not?
Many times you got this question on your mind - WHY HUMANS ARE BORN?
The answer we always get is to fulfill some purpose. We are here to live a meaningful life.
What kind of meaning we need to add to our lives???
We think that our purpose is already set by destiny, God has given us some objective to complete on this Earth, that's why we are here. We think this life has some meaning. But you know what, I think life is meaningless and it has always been.
Even if you don't do a job, live in woods, search for food and take care of your home, just like we did millions of years ago. We would still lead a happy life.
Don't you think so?
Why we seek purpose in life?
Nowadays we humans are really busy in making money but one thing that we find missing is happiness. And we think that we should do that job that will make us happy and run our homes too.
This has become our mentality now. So our mind searches for some objective when we get bored from our achieved goal. That's how our psychology has evolved.
We need purpose to keep ourselves busy, and we want to achieve big things in life.
We seek purpose because we have nothing to do, we do not have to go and hunt or search for food, everything has become automatic. So to spend our life we want something that could keep us occupied and by that job people would recognize us.

This one is the interesting part where we are going to do some testing.
Now, just think about the situation where you are on your deathbed and your friends or dear ones are around you, talking about you. So what would you want to hear at that moment from them like what kind of personality you are or how would you like to be remembered?
Think for once.
I have read many articles and watched many videos based on how to find a purpose or your life goal.
These are the two articles which I liked and were really helpful:
I hope they would be helpful for you too.
What should we do?
Do everything that you love or you always wanted to try. We have got one life and there are many things to achieve.
But you should know one thing that with every goal there will be some hardships to get it there. So if you are ready to bear that pain then you are ready to achieve that goal.
I read one book IKIGAI. It is really interesting book and if you are finding your purpose here is a Japanese way to find one.
Happiness lies within you so try to find some balance.
Explore every aspect of life.
I am just in a learning phase right now. I want to explore every corner of my life and I promise that I'll share my every experiment with you guys.
