Reflect on your WHY

One thing that has become certain with the advent of modernization & technology is that the pace of life has increased to a considerable extent in terms of how people spend their time. And the results are chaos and uncertainty which is pretty much ubiquitous in the contemporary world. In the midst of all this, people have less time to reflect on their WHY. They keep searching for ways to get the most out of new opportunities, set new goals, collaborate with people to start startups & some hope for a turnaround to take place. While all these are good but if they do not look at the broader objective for manifesting their ideas, there will certainly be ramifications that cannot be avoided.

So the analogy is that if you take actions with a certain motive behind it intelligible in your mind then the probability of reaping the benefits from that action are higher than if you do it without any intangible plan. Therefore, its necessary for us to periodically keep reflecting on the ultimate purpose of our lives to get a crystal clear perspective on decisions that we make. The trick is to know when you are just busy and times where you are actually progressing towards your higher purpose.

The predicament is that most people are busy and not productive. They keep going to the same place where they receive no value addition in themselves as a person and then die working hard all their life but never ever tried to fulfill their purpose. And the reason is pretty simple: They did not reflected on their WHY. Sometimes we consume all our time in activities that make no sense at all and at the end of all that play, we realize that we have no more time to battle with the real thing (which is your purpose).

Reflect on your WHY

People get too much excited about festivals and events that they consider to be special but I wonder that they never consider every day as equally important as the others. They get excited about the new year, but never soberly & conscientiously ponder over what they did with the year that just passed by? But when you live your life in moving towards your ultimate purpose then each day in your life becomes important. It’s your purpose that not only makes you sit for late hours in the night but also wakes you up early in the morning. When you are learning something each day to get closer to your destiny, you experience true joy. It is that relentless pursuit of your vision that brings importance to each day of your life. When you are progressing towards your end (purpose), you say to yourself everyday, “This is the most important day of my life and I am going to live it like that!”. When you are sensible concerning your destiny, you choose who you associate with and the quality of your time that you use or to the worst squander. You choose it!

Reflect on your WHY

Generally, whenever a terrible act like suicide happens, the person usually leaves a note before they kill themselves. And the note usually says, “I had no reason for living!”. Probably they never had a strong WHY for living. Therefore, its vital to spend sometime every year, every month, every week and every day with yourself and ask a question to yourself: Am I still aligned with my WHY? Or do I need to adjust a little bit? Remember, your WHY is what gives your life its meaning. It gives you hope because as they say, “If you have a WHY, then you can bear almost ANYHOW!”. Share your perspective!
