Your life without a worthy purpose is unworthy of your being
No purpose, no life, no hope, no way to pursue, nothing to strife for, nothing to live for.
If you know you are going to travel to Paris you know how to get there. You have a purpose to achieve. You prepare yourself for the trip and you work out details of your way. You have hope to see Paris. If you want to travel around the world then your way is different and you have to prepare for your trip.
Life without a purpose is void of any meaning, empty of any feeling and stagnates thought and kills the zeal for strife. Most of us live their lives to work, eat and drink, have a family, a car and maybe, if lucky, have a flat. These are short goals in life that everyone must work for. Short distance goals can be achieved if we work hard for them. To be rich or have a good position in the society you have to work harder.
All opportunities are there to satisfy your needs in developed societies, in less developed ones it is harder but the opportunity is there if you make your luck. Not everyone gets what he, or she, wants in life, but we remain in these goals at a short distance wavelength. To get work is possible if you make enough efforts to get it. And so all the other needs. However, these goals do not consist the purpose of your life.
They represent on the way by passing goals towards a greater goal and purpose namely to be congruent with the ultimate purpose of your life.
What is the purpose of your life as a human being? Perhaps, no one can answer. Perhaps, there are as many answers as there are human beings on the surface of earth.
To respond to this question we can begin by our natural being. The first step is to look naturally with our brains into the universe we happen to be in. Then, we realize how big and limitless it is.
We realize, that there are billions of galaxies and trillions of stars and planets. We realize our small size compared with the universe, Our small, infinitely small being along side the stars and galaxies that surround us. We realize that we did not contribute anything to bring the world about.
We realize that we did not create any of its galaxies or stars or planets. Then we look into our planet earth and look how it functions and then realize that we do nothing to contribute to its presence, functioning and movement.
We look into the dimensions of two millions of life structures, us included in the menu, and realize that we did nothing to bring one single bird or a rose into existence. Then we look into ourselves and realize that we did nothing to bring ourselves into being. We become more and more humble realizing our little size in our little journey on the surface of the earth. We realize that we are unable to bring about one single simple atom.
Our journey of self-realization is coupled with a gradual recognition of the power that must have created everything and brought about everything to be what it is. We become more and more aware of such a Power needed for the creation of our universe and controlling in the way it is.
This power, we come to understand with our little brains must have brought us into this world. We realize that we have to acknowledge this Power. We come to realize the favor of this Power providing us with food, movement, thought and feelings.
We come to realize that in order to recognize this Power we have to go through the journey of life, by thinking and reflecting, by sensing and feeling, by understanding and comprehending.
We realize that we have to undergo a life-cycle as a forced natural process. We realize we have to be in a certain form, shape, color and structure. Like the two millions of species we undergo the same conditions of living and survival. We realize we have no choice in coming into this being or leaving.
All these things makes reflect on the Power that made the plan and run the program. Those who realize this realize the purpose of their existence namely to discover God and submit unto Him. We realize we live in a world of good and evil and we are given the freedom of choice to either way.
Those who believe in God and do good and shun evil earn the favor of God and those who disbelieve in God and do evil are judged by God and have their share of His wrath, for they deny what is evident and what is true.
