Not to tick checkboxes and race to the finish line with the maximum ‘currency’ in the end as our time here is very limited.Magic is everywhere. These answers could be different for everyone.įor now, my only thought is that life is to be lived, have experiences that take your breath away. How different would your life be once you set this path for yourself? If you are willing to change it, make sure to make a plan and keep checking with yourself, is this something you want and why? If you achieve this goal, will you feel happy, free, content on contributing to society? Finally, does it fit in your life? It’s essential to understand your intentions behind it. It could be a career role, arts, buy a house, travel the world, help the unfortunate or something else. Let’s say you spent a lot of time self-reflecting and found your goal. Taking the time to understand what makes us who we are and why, is crucial to finding our purpose.īut isn’t there something even more essential than the purpose that we need to figure out first? Its intentions. One of the main reasons for that is the smooth functioning of society with people performing their defined roles.īecause of this training, we forget to ask ourselves the most important question - ‘What are my values and why?’. Whether it’s the games we play or the education system, it is designed to train us to follow a set path of life. We are exposed to this life right from an early age. Where are we going wrong? Start with the why and your values I have been a part of this race for as long as I can remember and have just recently started asking myself, ‘What should be “my life’s” purpose?

In the end, whoever has the most currency wins (including ‘currency’ you get for having a spouse and kids).Īlso, to add ‘it’s the most boring game I have ever played.’ You go through ‘Life’ - college, career, earn money, buy a house, pay insurances, and go to your retirement.You fill that plastic car with a spouse and kids as you spin the life’s wheel.You are given a plastic car (with empty holes) at the beginning that represents you.More I thought about it more I remembered this board game I used to play as a kid called ‘The Game of Life.’ This game got created in 1860 and has gone through several iterations since then. Which life’s purpose am I looking for? The life that’s given to us by nature or the life we have created for ourselves. It’s not up until recently that I paused to think about life’s purpose and one of the things that keep coming to my mind is . Every time I get promoted, I get a sense of success, and then I would ask myself, ‘What’s next?’ and work tirelessly towards that. I had worked hard for it and started pushing myself even further to go up the career ladder. A few years ago, I landed my dream role in my career.
