Most of us do not know why we exist, whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied with their lives, the eventual goal of most people is retirement. Yet were we born just to go through certain life rituals – fined a job, get married, buy house, raise children, change jobs or careers, retire – and then die? Or is there more to life?
If you ask people, Why do you exist?’’ most cannot tell you. They can’t explain their purpose in the world. They have no vision for their lives.
Do you have a sense of personal purpose? Do you know why you were born? Does your purpose give you a passion for living? You may ask me, Do I really need to have a reason for my existence? My answer is , Absolutely! Life is intended to have meaning; you were not born just for the fun of it. If all you have to look forward to after working for years for other people is a gold watch and a pension, then your life is a tragedy in the making. You can know why you exist, and you can experience a remarkable life in light of that knowledge. Life doesn’t have to be an aimless, repetitive exercise, because you were meant to be going somewhere, to be headed toward a destination.
