Purpose is the key to life. Without purpose, life has no meaning. There are millions of people today who are busy making a living, but they experience very little of life. There's this question I mostly ask people most especially the youth, and that, if you have all the resources making life very comfortable, thus, having all the money, cars, houses and all others in the world, what one thing will you be doing? It seems funny but very serious. I ask this question and receive so many interesting responses from people. Most in responding to me, said they would enjoy life to the fullest, by going to parties, travelling and others. The second question I ask people again is, what matters most in life?
And again, interesting responses as others feel what matters most is money, to others marriage, education, power, and many other responses to this, but then, I think there is really more to this life we are in than money, parties and the rest. If your goal in life is to be wealthy so you can retire, you are embarking on a journey of depression and frustration without destination. If your vision for life is determined by status, then your upkeep will be your downfall. In the discovery of your purpose, vision for life is also discovered. Vision is placed deep within purpose. Ignorance of purpose, makes life an endless activity with little or no significance.
Life without a discovered purpose, is motion without progress. When you fail to discover your purpose, you will just engage yourself doing anything that seem good to you but might not be right and beneficial to do. Why is life treating you the way it is? Why does everything you engage yourself doing seem not to be productive? Why are you not
experiencing satisfaction and the joy of life? Why do you feel busy and yet not productive? The reason for all these is because you haven't discovered that thing which you naturally have to engage yourself doing. Life without a discovered purpose, is an experiment. Engaging yourself in so many things and hoping that they work out for you to have a meaningful life, is nothing than experimenting with one's life.
Life without a discovered purpose, is life without direction and life without direction, is life without destination and life without destination, is life without fulfilment. What makes life meaningful and easy going, is a discovered purpose. Once you know what you are born to do, you don't waste time engaging yourself in what is not relevant to the accomplishment of your purpose. On several occasions when I asked people what matters most in life, the answers most gave seem interesting to hear. To some the most important in life is to make money, to another marriage, to other houses and to others just fun and many more other interesting responses. But then the question which pops up after getting responses to the question is, what next after that? After having money, marriage, houses, cars and the rest, what next? What becomes the result of what you think is the most important to do in life? Everything that exist in this world has a reason for its existence and that reason becomes the purpose for which it was created. The reason for which the mobile phone was created, is its purpose. The reason for which light was invented, is its purpose. The reason for the creation of the trees, animals and the rest, becomes their purpose. In other words, whatever you see either naturally or man-made, has a purpose. There is nothing that exist to do nothing.
Nothing is created for nothing.
