All things in life have a purpose. Right from the tiny mitochondria that live inside each cell to the huge mountains, they all serve some higher purpose than to simply exist. All the other beings in the world perform their pre-assigned tasks by instinct. But we, as humans have the power to identify our purpose in life and work towards performing it with perfection.
But the only problem is, many of us do not know the answer to the question, What is my purpose?
This is a question that troubles most young men and women, and sometimes, even adults. It sets them thinking and when there is no immediate answer, it worries them. All human beings perform some task or the other and contribute at some basic level to the society. But only those people who are clear about their purpose in life are able to achieve great things and become better people.
As students, this is the right time and age to find out and identify your purpose in life. The moment the question arises in you, you must begin to search within yourself and around you for the answer. Finding your purpose in life is neither impossible nor too difficult. All it requires is a keen sense of observation and a little bit of instinct.
The first step towards finding your purpose is to observe those who have found their achievements. Each of us knows some people in our lives whom we respect, adore or admire for what they are or what they have achieved. You may begin by observing such people and asking them how they knew that this is what they wanted to do. By doing this, you will not only understand the importance of having a purpose, but will also be inspired to search harder.
Second, you will need to write down all those things that you wish to achieve in the future. It may be your childhood dreams or something that you wish to become. Once you have written this down, identify that dream or goal that is most important to you from the list. In all probability, that will be your purpose in life.
But the story does not end once you have found out your purpose or goal. It is now that it truly begins. Once you have answered this question, you must motivate yourself to achieve it as soon as possible. And in the process, you must learn to help and inspire others while you fulfill your purpose.
It is said, that to be born as a human is a very rare event, for we are currently at the top of the pyramid of evolution. Therefore, each of us is important to the society in which we live in. And, unknown to us, we will realize our purpose with or without our effort. But the sooner we do so, the better we become as citizens and individuals.
