How to live a purpose-driven life and satisfy your soul!!!
“The greatest challenge in life is to be our own person and accept that being different is a blessing and not a curse. A person who knows who he is, lives a simple life by eliminating from their orbit anything that does not align with his or her overriding purpose and values. A person must be selective with their time and energy because both elements of life are limited.”
―?Kilroy J. Oldster
Every person comes into this world with a purpose. We are conditioned since childhood that our parents, teachers, and society teach us. We do study and choose a career that helps us to survive and earn the money but after some time when we get a calling, we suddenly don’t like the life that we are living. We feel some empty ness. What is this emptiness? You have everything around you but you are not happy. You are looking for something that is calling you. That calling is to do something that gives you fulfillment and helps you to live the purpose of your life.?
Mother Nature provides us everything to survive and gives all living and non-living things a unique role to play. When you look at the Sun, it has the biggest contribution to the planet and helps to survive life, the moon, water, and air, all are here to give a contribution to the survival of all creatures. Trees give us, fruits, wood, shadow, and most importantly oxygen.?Even animals are here to contribute, they are used for food production, transport, and are also used for manufacturing products.?
On the other hand human being, is the finest creature on this planet, who is wise and can invent great things with his wisdom. Now things come here, are we using this human body in the right way that we are born for??
There are many people in this world, who are inspired by many things such as singing, teaching, painting, writing, and more. In short, we all are here to contribute something to this world. When we look around us, each and every one plays some role.
Did we recognize how we can give a contribution to this world? What is the purpose of our life? Are we aware of the essence of our life or we are busy fulfilling our material needs??
I feel sad when I see people wasting their useful life and ending their life because of their wrong choices for maintaining social status
Yes, we are social animals, we need money, family, and society to live with. But these things should be in support of fulfilling our purpose and missions in our life. We have limited time and energy. Are we using this time and energy in a productive way??
For example-?
There are two friends, one is living his life with luxury and buying expensive things and the other one is using his life with simple things but fulfilling the purpose of his life. It can be fancy to see luxurious homes, cars, and vacations, and it may become a social status. But if you are wasting your time and energy in earning money so that you can pay the bills of high maintenance costs, which gives you temporary happiness but not giving true meaning to your life. Instead, you can use your life with minimal things and live a purposeful life, so that you will have no regret at the end of your life.
There is always our choice about how to live our life. Nowadays in social media time, you can find many distractions, people are frustrated by seeing others’ successful and happy life. But we can find real happiness by fulfilling our inner voice that is coming from inside.?
This is the myth that people who have all luxuries are the happiest People. Real happiness always comes from the inside and the lives that you have impacted. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor. You can live happily when you are living a meaningful and purposeful life without having an expensive home and cars. I have seen,?people have everything but they are not happy as they are not self-fulfilled.?
You will be fulfilled and satisfy your soul if you are listening to the voice of your heart. It may be challenging as you have to listen to your inner voice and also balance the logical mind. When you are stuck in intuition and a logical Mind. You should always choose your intuition over the logical mind.?
Intuition and Purpose
Intuition is listening to the voice of your heart that can not be logical, but compelling to you, In my case, if I will not listen to my heart and intuition, it screws my whole life, everything will not feel good even if people are doing good around me.?
Science can not understand intuition and the voice of the heart. As per science, it is the heart, pumping blood throughout your body. But we all have that little voice inside of our hearts or you can say the inner voice of the soul,?you just have to experience it by closing your eyes and listening to it. We all should have the courage to follow that.
There were many people who reached their full potential and achieved far more than they could think. They had the courage to follow their heart and intuition and lived purposeful lives.
As per the survey, I did on LinkedIn,?more than 80% of our decisions are taken on a logical mind, and less than 20% of our decisions are taken on intuition.?The majority of people take decisions logically, it sounds great, right??
But who are those people? who took decisions based on intuition and listened to their hearts. People who listened to their hearts and follow their intuitions are not ordinary people, they are extraordinary on this Planet. They have the courage to fulfill their dreams and purpose and paid the price whatever it takes.?
Some of the names of intuitive People-
There are a number of others people like them as Aristotle,?Swami Vivekanand, Oprah, Jay Shetty, Tony Robbins, and B.k Shivani and there is a list of tons of other people, who are not famous like them but living a fulfilled and meaningful life. Initially, their decisions were not logical but they listened to their heart and had the courage to fulfill them, no matter what.

“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ― Steve Jobs.
“Martin Luther King had a dream or intuition that everyone should be treated equally and everyone should live in a nation where they would not judge by their color but by their character”
As per Steve Job, “Intuition is very powerful more powerful than intellect”.
In an interview In a 2005 Stanford speech , Jobs again credited his intuitive mind as having a significant impact on his work. “You have to trust in something,” he said. “Your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.”
Jobs added, “This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
