If you can get this right, you have already transformed your life and if not, then this article can change your life – provided you keep your mind open and contemplate upon the idea that is getting conveyed.
The Question – What is your goal in Life?
Do not hurry. Wait, think and take your time. Then, read further.
Is your answer one of those – lot of $$$ in bank, a sports car, a villa, fame, a great designation, a great partner, all of those?
Let me prove in a few minutes from now that none of these is your actual goal in Life! Your actual and real goal in life is not material but subtle. All the materials are a means to what you think will help you to achieve that subtle goal.
The Real Goal of life – Or as I put it – The Goal of all goals in Life is Eternal Happiness. You can Call it never ending Joy, Ultimate Freedom, Infinite Peace or Bliss.
Why do I refer it as the Goal of all Goals?
Most of people in the world are not able to achieve all their goals in life because as soon as one goal is achieved, another one is set. And as soon as a Goal is achieved, it gives Happiness (which was the real goal from start!).In case one is able to achieve every goal in life, one sees the futility of it because one is still incomplete, one still longs for something else but does not know what that *something else* is, one is still unfulfilled and that is when (and if) one turns inwards and understands that Happiness is what he/she had always been looking for. Hence, once all goals are achieved, one remains and that is Eternal Happiness – hence it is the Goal of all goals or The Ultimate Luxury of Life! The Luxury that one pursues after all Luxuries are achieved! The greatest example of this phenomenon is Gautama Buddha.
Why would I term Happiness as your Goal without even knowing your story!??
1) Just Imagine – you suddenly have A Billion $$ in your bank account? – The first reaction (and this is literally the first reaction which might stay just for a few seconds before mind takes over and starts making future stories) would be that of relaxation, peace, Happiness, Freedom.
2) Imagine you are with a partner of your dreams – What is your first reaction? Happiness and Joy
3) You will find that no matter what situation you imagine, you will always end up with Happiness, Joy, Peace, relaxation, Freedom as the first response/reaction.
Happiness, Peace and Joy derived from Comforts, pleasures and achievements might be short-lived but it does give you a glimpse of Happiness (what you actually are running after). It is your and every human’s hidden desire to make this Happiness eternal and without any conditions attached.
Just this realization that you are actually running after Eternal Peace and Joy can be the start of an immensely positive transformation in Life. All that is required is that you start working towards Eternal Happiness consciously. There is no need to drop comforts. Be Comfortably Happy!! 🙂
Do you agree?
