Purpose
Isn't it a good time to really think about what our real purpose in life is?
To quote William's Shakespeare from his play Twelth Night, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them".
Which means, some people are born into greatness like those who are born into royalty, while there are others who achieve greatness by working really hard at creating powerful connections and end up making a big difference to the world, and then there are the third kind who don't want to, but have no choice but to be great in order to do the right thing.
So what kind of great are you?
Master Choa Kok Sui says, "Live an extremely extraordinary life. It makes life more interesting."
Everyone lives a normal life, but if you want your life to turn out to be great, then live an extraordinary life. How should you live an extraordinary life? Only by having an extraordinary purpose.
Each of us, are born into different kind of circumstances, but what kind of great do we want to be? Is being great equivalent to being so successful that you can afford all the luxuries in the world, or is it being so successful, that not only can you afford a lot of luxuries, but you also choose a bigger cause, the cause of humanity.
The bigger your purpose, more is your ability at achieving greatness. A great life is one which is not just restricted to one's personal goals, but one that encompasses one's society, one's country and even the whole world or the cosmos.
For example, take very successful businessmen. They accumulate a lot of wealth and keep accumulating a lot of wealth, but when it comes to giving back to society, they also have the most generous heart and offer their help in every form possible.
A recent example of the same would be the business tycoon Ratan Tata. Not only did he donate wholeheartedly to the Indian Government in this time of crisis, but also offered his several hotel properties for quarantine purposes.
Master says, "By giving, by sharing, you become entirely entitled to prosperity."
So next time, you draft your personal vision, or the vision of your Company, think which kind of great does your life's purpose serve. The important thing is not where you are right now in life, but where you really want to be?
