Recently, I have watched a video about PURPOSE and the differences between PURPOSE and GOALS. When I was watched it a few months ago the first time I didn't get the idea of the difference. But NOW, I am realizing it.
First, what is GOAL & PURPOSE?
GOAL
Have a nice job, have a nice house or have a nice family, or become a wealthy...
PURPOSE
True passion about YOU in your once living life.
It doesn't belong surrounding things like family or job or wealth.
It has no expiring time.
So let me explain it in a few situation and example.
Case 1 :
If your purpose had kids and grow them. Well, it is quite a wonderful purpose of life. Once it was mine though. But it is not the purpose of your life. Why?
When your kids grow up have their own life, what will you do next? You have fulfilled your purpose of having kids and watching them grow. So does it means life is going to end to you? I think you say nooooo in your mind right? So again, it is not the purpose of your life.
Case 2:
If your purpose is to build a company or become rich enough to buy a several houses or cars.
Of course, it is a big goal and if you are passionate about it, good luck. Don't lose a focus. But I really want to say this if your company had a hard time and went into bankruptcy or sth, would it be an end of your purpose? Of course not. So it is also not your purpose.
So, in my case, it actually fit in a situation that I am right now. A few months ago, I was fallen in love with someone and I thought it will last forever. I truly believed that. I was planning all the things dreaming about it with him. But in the reality, it was not same as I expected. I recently, know that he does not care or love me anymore. It was just devastating for me. Many long crying days...
One day, I watch this video and I kept asking myself what is my purpose, purpose? That moment was magical. I am passionate about doing great things for people who surround me or living on the earth with my own ability. So do my purpose. Now, I am focusing on growing my ability stronger and wider, then one day I want to develop my country by IT. That's my PURPOSE.
What I most realizes is, life can change for sure, either go up or down. But, when you face that time, just remind a PURPOSE of your life. It worked for me. It prevented me from many misery days and thought. So, I believe it will help you too.
