We have a limited number of years, months, days, hours, and seconds in our life, yet we still do not make an effort to understand the meaning of life.
We are born, complete studies, get married, raise kids, earn to survive, and die. That’s all.
Isn’t it?
There could be different meanings of life for different people.
Earning lots of money.
Purchasing a house, a car or visting the world.
Becoming famous.
Achieving something big.
Becoming an actor, doctor, engineer, IAS officer, Minister, etc.
…
The list will go on.
Until 40, I was also someone who did not take life seriously, and I thought the meaning of life was the same for everyone. But when I delved deeper and understood the true meaning of life, it was an eye-opener for me. The meaning and purpose of life are something different from what we think.
Everyone is born with special qualities, abilities, and capabilities in this universe with a specific purpose, and that purpose is not something limited to what we think. It’s far beyond that. It’s not just about becoming a doctor or engineer and then dying. The actual purpose is something meaningful, serving people so that after your death, your impact remains alive for years and years, and people will remember you forever.
But we often don’t care and think very selfishly about ourselves. We grow up thinking only about ourselves, doing everything only for ourselves, and earning money only for ourselves. We don’t even have enough time to think about others who really need us.
If we do something meaningful for others, then we can die in peace, and people will remember us forever.
Isn’t it?
Now, you might ask me what I am doing, right?
When I understood the actual meaning of life, I started thinking for others. I faced lots of challenges during my corporate journey, so I am working to make the corporate journey smoother for upcoming generations to live a better life.
What are you doing for others?
