What is the purpose of life we're going to talk about?

Why?

Because so many people don't know what is the purpose of life and people lost on this.

So this is a universal problem,

So therefore we're going to discuss this and we analyze this and we fulfill the purpose of life.

To do that we should think two things.

One is what could be the purpose of life and one is what should be the purpose of life.

So the first,

What could be the purpose of life means there is no fixed of the purpose of life.

Every individual person can approach the purpose of life their own way.

So that means you can have a very simple purpose of life or you have a very complicated purpose of life you can choose.

So whatever way is,

If you choose your purpose of life according to your own capacity is the right way.

Because most of the time people don't have the purpose of life,

They don't recognize what is the purpose of life,

But also sometimes they choose the wrong purpose of life is not fitting their own capacity.

So that's why the most important is not about how big is your purpose of life or how simple,

But is more important is you choosing the purpose of life is fitting in your capacity.

So that means let's say so many animals more happier than human beings and they are more enjoying life more than human have the luxury.

So why?

Because usually we think luxury is something the enjoyment for the life,

But the more animals have more enjoyment and peace in the mind and people don't have that because you choosing your purpose of life is fitting your capacity.

So that's why it's not about how high is the luxury of your life,

It's not about your reputation and not about your social status and not about your material wealth and relationship,

It's about what is fitting with your purpose,

Your desire and your capacity is balanced very well.

So that is a simple way we can say find the purpose of life.

So that means the animals have peace and enjoyment,

They just find in the everyday food and the shelter,

Just a hole in the ground or just a shelter,

No shelter,

Still enjoy life and have peace in the mind.

So that is an example.

So similarly,

It doesn't matter your capacity,

Your reputation such as material wealth and relationship,

Your recognition in the society,

You are still happy with your literal life,

Your literal home and your literal relationship,

You're still happy and have peace in the mind because you can fit within your capacity accordingly.

So that could be your purpose of life,

That means anything could be your purpose of life,

Your purpose of life could be just having a car or having a house or just able to rent a house or you just have at least one human being have a good relationship or anything like that,

You could your purpose of life,

Which means the one life is enjoy,

You can enjoy your life and you have satisfied with your life,

That's why I'm saying you could be your purpose of life.

So no matter big or small or whether you cause success or failure or doesn't matter,

As long as fitting within your capacity and your desire and your desire fitting in within your capacity and your fulfillment is fitting in your capacity,

Then this could be your purpose of life.

Why I'm saying could be means because individuals have a difference and also even there is better or more superior but what is you have and what is fitting you and you are satisfied about that,

That is your purpose of life,

That's what I'm saying,

You could have purpose of life within your life,

Whatever life you are facing,

That is your purpose of life.

So on the other hand,

What should be your purpose of life is little bit more deeper.

So that should means no matter who you are,

If you have the capacity and if you have the courage to do,

To fulfill this purpose of life,

The right purpose of life,

Then you can have that is the best.

So that's why is I said this is should be your purpose of life.

This was very powerful. I am attempting to define my purpose for life. I find myself frustrated because i am attempting to do that for others. This is a great reminder for me to focus on my journey and to not always be quick to intercede/intercept with others.
