To be honest with y'all, considering the way most of us is trying to live life, we can say we're all just trying to survive first, maybe if we can at least do that, then we're doing enough, even in a country like mine, we can just say you're doing well already if you're at least trying to keep up and survive, that shows you how hard it is even to survive down here. Life's hard, very very hard, so as long as you're able to get up, go to work, do something, solve an issue, tackle a responsibility, and keep repeating that, we feel we're doing enough already, whereas that's just us working to survive.... Nothing more.
But then, is that our purpose, to just work to survive, is that us living a purposeful life. In as much as all of those things I listed above is essential and being able to get it sorted is good, then what happens when we're doing very well and can be able to do more. I mean, we work for money so we can get all those responsibilities sorted and even provide for our loved ones, but then what happens when we finally financially stable, that would lead us to now ask if money was the only reason why we're living. Because now we have it, then can we now say we've fulfilled purpose and can now go rest or what next.
Personally, living a purposeful life is simply being able to impact another person's life. I mean knowing fully well that I've been able to touch some people's life for good, that somebody can attribute the ease they're experiencing in their life to me, that someone can say thank God for Milli. That's all and that's it for me. And all of these could be done in different ways. It could be something as simple as providing any kind of assistance, it could be doing something that makes other happy, it could be something as simple as even sharing an information or an idea, and it could be something much more personal, like as I've survived something that should have break me, then I could just go ahead to share my story and experience with someone else to give them hope and give them a little light to hang on to. And as little as all of these may sound, so far the person or those people can experience some form of ease, a better and brighter life from what I've done, then I've done something.
I mean, it just doesn't have to be big, and you don't need to have life all figured out to before making an impact in someone else's life. Not as if it's bad to want to change the world, to be someone who's very well remembered in history, but it doesn't always have to be that. This little, small, quiet things means a lot too. And it doesn't even have to be an outsider, it can be a friend or even a family member.
I wouldn't want to dwell much on this, but life can be very difficult to explain,it won't always give you a clear explanation, it would make you experience ease to an extent, and you feel you're doing well, and suddenly it switches again, and you would now be at a point when you will be considering quitting because there seems to not be any hope left, and many times, it is at that point that we began to discover purpose, other times it is after we've survived that what is meant to break us.
I'm not saying having money is not good, of course it is, it would help do and sort a lot of these things too, but then, I as well want my life to go beyond paying bills, sorting responsibilities, and having lots of possessions. So that when my time on earth is up, I wouldn't just point at the things I owned, but at the people I helped, raised, loved and impacted positively.
