Most of the time we wonder about what our purpose in life is. We look at the lifeās of those seems to have accomplished everything in life, those whom we consider as experts in their particular field and earn for a time when we feel contended in our lifeās purpose.
More often we feel that we are stuck in daily monotonous jobs that we donāt like, struggling to find the one true purpose of our life, upon finding which would miraculously turn our life upside down.

After reaching [x], I would be having a completely different life.

is something which we say to ourselves, while disregarding the present as something that is hateful and something that needs to be avoided.
We often fail to understand that its not the goal that matters in life, its the journey that we take to it that matters. We make ourselves miserable, fretting over the past or not being able to live the life that you wanted to. Trying to find solace in the fact that once you attain or reach that position your life will miraculously change. All this misery and the need to find purpose in life makes us blind to experiencing what it feels to be alive, to what it feels to give and receive warmth and compassion from those who loves us.
Everyone might have their own idea of success and a goal or stage in life to achieve. Itās okay to pursue them. But getting obsessed by it and postponing your happiness until you have reached that very stage will only lead to misery and unhappiness.

Live every day as if it was your last.
