Purpose of Life
This was a FWD message from one of my friends... I really liked it and want it to save somewhere, where i can see often and read it to myself :)
Here it goes.....
To find out the purpose of life, we always try to live a “Life of Purpose”. Some of us prosper in the field of education and research; some becomes one of the wealthiest men, some other tries to become a celebrity. But as soon as we die, our identity will become a body. People use phrases like: “Bring the Body”, “Lower the Body”, “Take the body” etc. People won’t even call us by our name whom we tried to impress whole life.
So, live a life to make that person happy whom you see in the mirror; spend money on the things you love, laugh till your stomach hurts, dance even if you are too bad at it, pose stupidly for the photos, be child-like.
Death is not the greatest loss in life – Loss is when life dies within you when you are still alive. Whenever you don’t understand what’s happening in your life, just close your eyes, take a deep breath and say: “I know this is your plan. Just help me through it”.
Life has no other purpose. Life is a fairy tale to go through – a journey to complete – an event to celebrate – and A CHANCE TO THANK GOD FOR THIS WONDERFUL GIFT.
