Purpose Filled Life

Sometimes it so happens that some very interesting inter-related events happens to you in a quick succession. A few days back I was reading my all time favorite book "Alchemist" once again after about 4 years. Then just 2 days later then I accidentally came across a very b-e-autiful video by Rick Warren on a life filled with purpose. And then accidentally out of no-where I met a person who reminded me of someone who inspires me, even long after getting back to the dust.

The one thing which I really liked about the Rick Warren video is when he says that "life is not all about wake in the morning- go to the office- come back - sleep - wake up in the morning-and so on". He went on to say that we are all unique, and are here for some special purpose.



One thing without which I simply cannot imagine living life is when you don't have any proper direction or aim to follow. It's like you are going along a road, then just bcz someone asks to come along you boards a random bus, the bus going in some random place, you spends your time singing and dancing in the bus; without even knowing where the bus is going :)

I personally believes that almost all of us had some dreams when we were small kids. But I guess as the time went on, mundane things like gossips, doubts, work, other's expectations from you, etc, etc. takes the place of your dreams. As the "Alchemist" says, most of the people here are fighting only for food, water and shelter. We become so busy in food, water and shelter that sometimes we simply forgets that we have a dream to follow.

Imagine, what this world would look like if each one us identifies our dreams and then standby with them, no matter what happens. Ironically, most of the terrorists are doing the same. They are standing by their aims even if it means the end of their life. I am willing to bet that if if each one us identifies our dreams and then standby with them, then the world would become a heaven (for the living beings dude ;)

Alexander III of Macedon once said, "The world belongs to those who believes in the glory and the beauty of the dreams". So what do you want? Boarding a bus without even knowing where it is going :) or do you want the glory and the immortality which comes along when you follow your dreams!!!. As always, the choice will be totally yours :)
