Soul Purpose




We're all on this planet, for a reason we do not know.
Some of us know, but do not understand. Some of us understand but are unable to follow up.

A few days ago, I started questioning my purpose. It hit me when I started realizing that people live in a "Rat Race". 
Yes, you read that right.

All the television shows, movies, people around us, society in general, all indicate a specific pattern that is to be followed by us, and the generations that follow.

But, are we truly ready to conform with the rules of society, and follow a routine that was already written down for us before our birth?

It's the same story, every place I go.
The same stereotype life thought out (rather scripted), for each of us.
You follow the whole code, stick to the rules and hope life is as good as you want it to be.
You got to Kindergarten, then school - junior, middle, high, then college, get a job, get married, start a family, educate the kids, wait till retirement, die.

Tell me, is it wrong to think outside of these rules? Is it wrong to want something more than just mediocre ?
No, it isn't. 
Many people choose to live this way(yes, it surprises me.)
Why? Because, I know people who, if given total freedom to choose anything in life, would still choose the mediocre life.

So, is that it?
It baffles me to think that society shapes you in such a manner, where you don't have the freedom to speak out. You can't take up what your heart desires. You cannot be you, because that would be a taboo.
And that, is a total shame. 

"We are not this body, we are the soul."
When your soul connects to something, you're meant to do it. Like, that is your purpose.
I choose to believe that you are here, in this very moment, to live out your dreams. They may be preposterous, ambitious, outrageous, but, they've come from you. And that is all there is that matters.

I may not be able to reach out to everyone who reads this, but if I can reach out to atleast one person, i'm going to be so proud.
So, try this -
Sit down, cut yourself off from the world and any distraction(that means no electronic devices, no human contact).
Just you, and the silence. 
Let your mind speak to you.
At first, you'll have thoughts about how crazy stupid this is, but, when all that is over, it'll come to you.
What you love, what you wish to do, what it is that you're truly passionate about. 
And that is when you find your soul purpose.

Love and peace. xx
