Hello to all hive users 🤗❤️🙏
Hope you all are healthy and doing great in your life🙂
Our lives are surrounded by all sorts of questions, yet there is one question that stares us right in the face—"Why?"—though it often goes unnoticed. Have you ever stopped to consider why you wake up early, exercise, eat breakfast, go to work, or perform any of the myriad tasks that fill your day? What is the underlying reason for it all? From childhood, we are told to study hard and work diligently so that we can land a good job, earn a decent income, and lead a comfortable life. But is the purpose of our existence merely to earn money? Are we meant for nothing more than that—or perhaps just for maintaining relationships? I acknowledge that earning money is essential; in today's world, survival without it is incredibly difficult. Money covers everything from small daily expenses to major costs and earns us respect in society; indeed, many things are only possible because of it. However, this does not mean that money is everything or that we should spend our lives chasing it. After a certain age, one realizes that only a fraction of the money earned is actually utilized by oneself; the rest either goes to the next generation or is spent on purchasing things that may rarely, if ever, be used. For instance, when people accumulate wealth, they often start buying multiple houses—regardless of whether they actually live in them. They fail to consider what they will do with so many properties when they can only inhabit one place at a time. A house requires maintenance and eventually falls into disrepair, necessitating costly repairs or renovations. There are countless such instances where money is squandered unnecessarily—a realization that often dawns on a person far too late.

We mostly see people around us settling down with families, holding jobs, and earning money; we rarely witness anything else. So, how are we supposed to discover our life's purpose when we simply replicate the patterns we have observed in our families since childhood? Occasionally, however, we encounter people who are somewhat different from the average person—by "different," I mean individuals who do not hold conventional jobs or settle down with families, but instead lead a unique lifestyle. For instance, they might love exploring new places and traveling, so they roam the world; although they lack a traditional job, they possess a source of income that sustains them month-to-month. They choose not to start a family because they view it as a massive responsibility and question the ultimate outcome of it all. While I acknowledge that the happiness derived from family life is unique, many people desire a different kind of existence—one unencumbered by familial attachments—where they simply pursue what they love.
Everyone works hard—some to achieve their dreams, others to support their families. While we could technically get by with just the basics—minimal money and a few essential items—people often accumulate far more out of greed. Accumulating possessions isn't inherently bad, but when you cross a certain limit, those things become superfluous. I say this because if you look around your home, you will find many items that serve no real purpose. You might initially feel that everything is useful, but in reality, there are very few things you truly cannot do without. We often waste our time and lives on these trivial possessions, whereas the true joy of living lies in something else: understanding the purpose of your life and working towards it. Many of us harbor great ambitions, yet we hold back due to various constraints; we feel burdened by other responsibilities and are forced to divert our attention elsewhere. These are the very factors that steer us away from our true path and lead us in a different direction.
Many people do not even know what they actually want to do with their lives; they simply live by watching others, leading the same kind of life that everyone else does, with no desire to do anything different.
The conclusion is that we must know the purpose of our lives and understand why we are living; we need to recognize the true significance of life and act upon it.
