[My Insights]: Purpose

Birth or death which takes place will not be our choice, but in between the way we make our living is by our choice. So whatever and however we are now is because of our choice.
It’s always our choice to be in right frame of mind, to lead happy life everyday, but still we end up the day quite boringly. Similar days gets added up very often, then life start to seem very boring. Its like cricket, too many balls without runs makes it very boring.
If we can analyze in technical way what could be the root cause? Hmm… let’s analyze step by step. When we come to office rather when we are working we don’t get bored, just because we will have task(s) in hand. We plan the things and make up our mind to complete the task.
In office also we get bored when we don’t have work. In other words, life doesn’t seem interesting when we don’t have purpose in our day to day life. When we spend time without any purpose as such, we do say,” It was boring, so did this/that/something….”
It won’t affect us much if we have very few days with no purpose. But its effect is really heartening in aged people. We can analyze the effect, if we can put ourselves in the shoes of someone who is retired and has accomplished whatever he had intended to.
When we take birth, early days of our childhood with and without purposefulness don’t make any difference on us. But the result of act of purposefulness and without purposefulness of our parents does make a difference on us.
When we start growing and going to schools, we do have focus on scoring good marks in the exams and other entertainment activities. Then getting degree, job, marriage, Children, their study and then their marriages, follows one after the other. After everything gets over, we get retirement and start spending time at home without any purpose. Life seems boring; start living just for the sake of it. Starts negative thinking, “our life is only this much, all over now” this is what they say.
What is the solution for this?
Only way is to bring back the purpose in life. Life is so abundant that, even if we live for 100 complete years without wasting any time, it’s still very little for us to explore the life! So much is there in the life. Always we need to keep ourselves busy. Mother is the best example, always she keeps herself busy with many household activities. She will never get bored. (And other example, engaged people will never get bored as long as they get married ;-) )

Planning for learning something new creates overall purpose for some days. Then plan for, what to do, what not to, on day to day basis creates purpose for each day. The moment we have some purpose in our mind, life will never be a boring journey.
I was getting bored doing nothing, so forcefully created some purpose in my mind to write something and the result, is in front of you.

Have Purposeful, Wonderful, Cheerful life ahead,
Cheers!!!
