ARE PEOPLE BORN JUST TO ACHIEVE ?

Dear Balarishi,

In-spite of so many achievements, most of the people feel something needs to be done more and there is no feel of fulfillment. Why it is so ?

Now what do you mean by achievements ? They are nothing but accomplishments of certain desires, aspirations or ambitions. They may be materialistic or emotional targets which are accomplished in a given point of time. These achievements will give pride, fame, money and words of praise. But after sometime people feel this is what they wanted but this is not the all which they wanted. Something is missing and then they try hard to find the missing link. It only means they are now searching the purpose of their life. Accomplishing personal goals need not be achieving your purpose. Sometimes all the achievements might look funny and meaningless for the achiever himself. 

So when the search continues the search itself will lead you towards the purpose of life. Normally, finding the purpose of life might begin to get shape when you connect with others. Whenever you reach out to other living beings or human beings suddenly you feel now you are working towards the purpose of life. When you work on your ambitions and aspirations you work in  a self centered manner. On the other hand, when you work with a selfless attitude for a bigger cause or a social cause suddenly you feel that you have discovered the purpose of your life. Once you work towards it life becomes so lively and each and every simple step you take towards your purpose unfolds with lots of joy and meaning. So, achieve your goals and await the call of life which will guide you towards realizing the very purpose of your being.
