Purpose Over Material Success

In a century where fruits like apples have become electronic gadgets, many people want to be seen materially successful, but few want to fulfil purpose and the reason for which they were born. Systems across societies have been created to imprint a certain kind of mindset of success in us, such that, if you do not meet those benchmarks of success, you are deemed unsuccessful or good for nothing.

In fact, these systems are rooted deep in our educational and social systems, such that all students who read certain programs, are expected to turn out in a particular way, and those who read certain courses are perceived not to be smart. This has consequently created tensions among siblings and friends, deepened competition in society, and increased corruption in our institutions.

Meanwhile, the innate and internal benchmarks that truly show personal fulfilment are clearly missing from our world today. Truth is, no amount of accomplishments can replace the power and the motivation of finding the reason why you exist on earth. If you fail to find the purpose for your existence and the clarity of same, you may be accomplished according to the world’s standard but, you will feel that inner emptiness.

In view of that, I encourage you to commit to finding your purpose and your life’s true meaning and fulfil it. Do not allow society to prescribe and dictate to you, what you should become.
