It's Wonderful, to Have a Reason

So many people in this world are too preoccupied with their own things. Too caught up in a tedious round of routine, they barely notice that time actually flies. Gone. And will never come back.

They know, actually. But still, they can't help it and reluctantly let it slip away.

It's sad. Really.

And then in one afternoon, or that moment when you lay down on your bed at night, in the midst of daydreams or idle thoughts, suddenly it occurs to you that you want to make your life somewhat different... perhaps only slightly, but significantly. At least there's a sense of accomplishment, of something fulfilled.

You can, by creating dreams.

Something simple, like perhaps, you want to buy a memorable birthday present to your mom, or that you want to do excellently in your work before year-end assessment. Or perhaps you want to plan a trip somewhere, buy your own car and pay it in installments, invent a wonderful recipe, create a stunning DIY project, sell your own art...

Our dreams are endless, yet it would even be more incredible if you get up for real and make at the very least one of them come true. It's not always easy, but believe me, the efforts you make are like something that will keep you on going - something that will make you look forward to tomorrow and when you finally make it true with your own sweat and sincerity, it would be hundreds times sweeter. Like when you go hiking a difficult trek into the heart of the mountain and climb through the density of the forest to reach the peak, and then you are rewarded with a painfully beautiful sight high up from the rooftop of the world. You come triumphant, like a winner.

It's wonderful, to have a reason, to set a personal milestone or two and then own something of worth, a reason for you, as I said before, to keep on going. You wake up everyday with plans and expectations, and there - you paint your life with colors and turn it into something more meaningful. And happier.

Perhaps there is another way (out of many) to live meaningfully, not because you need to do so, but simply because you can.

So what is your purpose in life? And how exactly do you give meaning to it?
