Crossroad #9: Find your direction now!


Firstly, I'd like to thank Viren for giving me this opportunity to write on his blog. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a philosopher and I blog on the topic every day. I aim to help people find success in life but at the same time question the world and why we are here. Today, I'm going to share some information with regards to your purpose in life and where you are going in this crazy world.

I see it every day. People drifting through life, stuck in a dead end job, no goals or hopes or aspirations or dreams. It's sickening. Why is it so hard for people to have a dream about something they want to do with their life, you know, how they want to spend their limited days on Earth? And then why is it so hard for people to dedicate every inch of their body to that cause? Because let's face it folks, if you don't, you're going to lead an average life.

If you're happy with the 'typical' life, Birth > School > Job > Marriage > Children > Retirement, then by all means pursue that. But for those of you who want to do something different in life, follow a path few have taken, then you're going to have to work a lot harder than the aforementioned person. But believe me, your results will be all the more fulfilling.
I once knew a kid in year 7 at my school. Every single day of his life, he would train for basketball in the morning for 2 hours and then would do gym at night for a further hour. Every single day. He's now one of the very best athletes in the division 1 NCAA basketball league and will be moving to the highest level of the game, the NBA, very shortly to earn millions in his first year. That, my friends, is living. Planning for the future to one day make your dreams come true, working harder than everyone else every single day of your life, and then realizing your accomplishment when you reach it. That's how living is done.

So, I ask you, what do you want from life? And are you willing to grab it by the heels and dedicate every breath you take, every inch of your body to achieve it? If not, figure out what it is you will be willing to do that for. And go for it.
