What's life without purpose?

Purpose. The sole reason behind our greatest and smallest actions...Big or small, everything we do in life is guided by a purpose. You want great education-purpose:make it big in future, you want great perks-purpose: life a great life with great money...and the list is endless. But almost everything we do in life is guided by one sole purpose: Happiness.

Everyday, unconsciously we all are running after happiness. At the end of the day if we don't find happiness in what we do, we sulk about it...and then again run after it the next day. Everything seems terrific when we do find happiness on a day...Isn't that your case too?

So the universal purpose of every one's life is actually living a happy life, how we do it is solely on us. And we have our own ways to achieve it. But is it something that will seem worth the 60-70 years of your life? What would you look back on to be proud of your life? Of course you did keep happy and gave others happiness... but a purpose that you lived for and can proudly claim as your life's achievement? May be not.

There are some people who make their life worth living by having a great purpose in life...it may be as simple as pledging to keep your family members happy always or just any other small thought, but it certainly will impact you and life of a few others. When you turn back to rewind your life, you will be proud of being worth your life.

That's the real purpose. Happiness is of course a part of every purpose. It will be there. But something that will in turn impact, improve and enhance other lives is what we really should think about.

Its a small life and really not worth tying our self or others into obligations, rituals, traditions that are hollow and do not mean happiness at the end of their completion. Keep life as simple as can be, with immense happiness and a thoughtful purpose.
