Suddenly, i have this urge to blog so i am. In Borders because B wants to look for books on Sales Writing and it just suddenly dawned on me about the word 'life'. I'm curious since last year, "What is my purpose in life & what is my mission in life?" Do i seek to address unsolved issues possibly bought over from my past life or to let say, save the world or join in the climb up the social ladder to be rich? As i start my courses on business, finance, sales and bascially all about gaining knowledge and the expertise on financial growth, i start to ponder. Is fame and fortune all that we pursue and seek? Or, helping the less priviledge and being someone inspirational more of my dream? A recent trip by passing India, Kolkata made me think deep on my values. I went on a visit to Mother Theresa's Home and it is a catholic church as well, made me realise i wish to do the same. To be just like Mother Theresa, to help people. To give back because i feel so blessed for the place that i lived in, the upbringing and environment that i grew up in as compared to some poor parts of the world. And i mean, really poor. Slumdog millionaire? It isn't just a movie setting, what you see inside the movie is shown to me, exactly the way it is. I was wide awake. And, to the Sikkim School i went to, with no facilities, no lights, no books, nothing. I wish i bought some more sweets and biscuits with me during the trip for the kids. But, back to where i am. I'm well, sitting on the fence. I want both. I believe, being rich can help others but at the same time, that doesn't mean being poor couldn't. Maybe, on the pursue to richness minus the fame, i can thus be able to help people this way. Right now, i ought to keep my faith, to do what i ought to do. And, perhaps, my purpose in life will slowly unfolds itself. ;]
