What do I want to do with my life? A question I have been asking myself a lot post results day.. I go to university in September, I graduate, I get a job, get married, settle down with family and kids and then live out the rest of my life. Seems like an ideal, normal life. In reality I’m not even 100% sure what course I want to do at university! Let alone after. In a book I recently read (Sadhana of Service by Eknath Ranade) the author encourages the reader to find a focus or an aim in their life as soon as possible and dedicate their whole life to that purpose. As Swami Vivekananda said:
"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.”
I think I should start looking for this idea...because really I don’t think I can define who I am if I do not have a purpose in life. To an point that if I do not have a purpose in life other than to be a cog in society's wheel (which everyone is to an extent) then really I am not an individual I am really just a glorified, well, robot.
