FINDING A PURPOSE IN LIFE

The wise way to live life is to plan purposefully, prepare prayerfully, proceed positively and pursue persistently.

Life's heaviest burden is one's fight with life and not flowing with life.

There are two ways to live life. Onee is to fight with life and the other is to flow with life like a wise person.To fight with life is like fighting with one's source.There are situations in life when there are conflicts.Learn to create harmony in conflict.

In Aiki jujutsu, a form of martial art, if someone attacks you, our response is to accept first, and then flow with it. It is in the flow that you do the needful.Otherwise it appears that you are co-operating with your enemy. One has to learn to co-operate with the problems of life. Only then , you end up solving them.

Our society is in a mad quest for power.Power of money, power of position etc.This power seems to validate one's identity. But this is an illusory fulfillment.We want to be powerful , because we feel impotent, we feel insecure.The very desire to attain power is one of the greatest obstacles to being wise. So drop this craze to be powerful and just be wise, instead. You will flow with life and not create a conflict with life.

Give a conscious direction where you want to move.Pause for a moment to reflect if you are caught in the rat race. Make an extra conscious effort to go in a wise direction.
