Food for Thought 2

Starting afresh on the other side of the 50 ….

As I said earlier, 

A few thoughts have been playing on my mind for some time now…

Some thought processes need to change, some things need to move forward and some things need validation to stay put where they are!!

Sharing my 1st thought.... This one took me around in circles till I was dizzy...... 

What is the Purpose of My life :  I have spent numerous moments in the past couple of years pondering over the real purpose of my life… trying to  find something meaningful about this life… finding a tangible reason to do all this, everyday, each day…

I have also spent time thinking about why I am searching for a meaning or purpose only now… when I am on the verge of the Golden number 50.

The funny part is, I even tried to find the dictionary meaning for this😆…. And was unable to find a clear definition. The search  just kept on  leading me back and forth to the same words:  higher purpose, greater good, a more meaningful reason to live, work, etc…

What is this “etc”???

This ETC is a loose term, always left open to interpretation  and exploration… whatever may be of value or priority or significance or Purpose for its reader at that point in time in their life…. 

So, then what should be my "greater purpose" on this side of 50??🤔

Knock knock!!!! 

No Definite Answer from Within...

And yes, does that also mean that what I have done until now had no greater purpose? 

That these children I raised who are now independent and responsible human beings, didn't satisfy a "greater purpose?"

That the relationships I worked hard to cherish and mend and bend myself to keep this family going wasn't a "greater purpose?"

Being aware of the Environment Outside…. Trying to do things to keep my Carbon footprint as low as possible…  wasn’t a "greater purpose”?

Being aware of the Environment Inside me… Trying to keep Equilibrium and adapting new styles of thinking... Wasn't a "greater purpose"?

Counseling clients to make correct food choices for themselves, inspite of what the Ad world tells them… wasn’t a “greater purpose”?

This list just goes on…..

Finally, After doing the circles a couple of times…. I have decided to Course -correct… 

This side of 50, I will continue to be Myself and trust the Flow of Life !! 

The pressure and Façade of having a greater purpose to Life is OVER…
