There are innumerous times in my life when I have wondered what the true purpose of my life is. What is it that I’m heading towards? What am I going to accomplish in my life? Where is life taking me? Little did I know that every human on earth has similar questions. Everybody is in search of his/her own answers for these questions. It struck me hard today when I heard this statement from a young social entrepreneur – “The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose”
Till today I was walking towards something, striving hard for something not knowing what that “something” is! Majority of the people I have met are like me. Is it that people don’t have dreams? No! It is that their dreams have been brutally killed by everyone around them when the dreams were just born. Many people do not dare to dream big today for the fear of what the society will think about them or that it will not come true tomorrow. I was one of them……….. But TODAY, I feel like I’m born again because my dreams have taken life again! And this time, nobody can dare kill it. “The question is not who is going let me, the question is who is going to stop me?!”
It seemed like a normal day when I got up this morning thinking that I’ll be going to college and finish few meetings for the day as usual. But what it turned out to be, now it seems like I’ve lived thousands of lives in this one day! This might seem like an exaggeration, but the feeling can only be felt, not explained. I did not imagine that I would be going to one of the posh areas of Bangalore with an elite club of social entrepreneurs to celebrate a new level achieved by my cousin working with us. We just enter a Van Heusen showroom and The Personality Mr. Sujit Lalwani (We’re blessed to be working with him! Thank God) just selects a shirt and gifts it to my cousin! This was the first time I saw a man just picking what he likes without checking its price tag and gifting it to someone in his team! Touched by the lifestyle.
We then get into the black Hyundai Verna self-earned by this 23 yr old individual and head towards airport road. To my ultimate surprise of my life, WOW, we enter THE LEELA PALACE! Every inch of that place speaks of richness and class. Every single pillar there says what the status of the place is. And we, the future big shots sit there and visualize our dreams. I was taught in school and in my childhood “Do not build castles in the air”, “Stop day dreaming”, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch” etc., etc. In one shot, all these words became meaningless today! We went on and on and on discussing about our dreams and visions. If just the ‘feeling’ of the dream was so good today, I cannot imagine how it would feel to accomplish that dream. I just learnt “FEEL”, realize, visualize, express, believe, share and respect your dreams and CONTINUOUSLY work towards them, no power in this universe can stop you from achieving them! It does not matter where you start, but it matters where you reach.
I learnt how to give life to every single dream of mine and my parents and every single person around me and how to put efforts to turn them to reality. This is not even the beginning! “One life! Live it fully”
