The purpose of Life is a Life of purpose..

"The Purpose of life is a life of purpose..."
-From The Monk who sold his ferari-

I've read this quote a few months ago and something about it really inspired how i wanted to live my life since i read it. It is from an awesome book given to me by one of my close mentors, Celine Chew. There was a time in my life last year that i felt really lost and depressed about things that i understood happening around me but i couldn't do anything about them. I see and understand things and situations differently from what people usually see and that made me frustrated because i couldn't express or communicate them very well. Don't get me wrong, i'm a very people's person however there are times it is just hard for me to explain what i know to the people around me; even my family.

I finally, understood what had made me frustrated and depressed. Other than just seeing and knowing things from a different perspective, i cared too much about what is happening around me and i allowed them to affect my mood. The thing is, i allowed myself to sway from the path that i was walking on and look at other paths. This might sound a little philosophical but (now) i really think that one should never stop to climb hills when one is trying to get to the other side of the mountain. You see, i was trying to do all this things in my life and at the same time do other things in order to satisfy things that i do not need to do. I lost sight of my purpose, my goal and what i was suppose to be doing. I ended up doing all those things that i should not be doing and worst, i did all those things that i didn't like to do.

I found out that purpose was such an important thing in life. And that it is so very true that "the purpose of life is a life of purpose". What is life without purpose? Keeping it short i found out two other things about purpose. 1)Your purpose inspires you to take action. And 2)Your purpose is much larger than what you do. What do you think?
