"Purpose is different from goals. A purpose is a broad definition of what a goal should be framed around. A purpose has no deadline and it fuels whatever you do. There are many primary purposes in life: to change, to preserve, to create, to destroy, to survive, to serve etc. A goal then narrows this purpose down to a specific field the individual chooses to make his/ her mission based on personal preference, background, health, wealth etc."
This is from a note written by my ex-classmate nandhitha called revelation. I guess it sort of sums up what i've learnt and realised these few months...that what i'm lacking in my life right now is purpose. With no purpose, it's hard to find any passion...which might explain why i simply feel no passion for anything in my life. Some are interested in economics, some are interested in money (which isn't really a good purpose anw), some are interested in saving lives...for me? The only thing i can come up with is to be able to use my brains and contribute to society in my own way. But the thing is, i don't know what i can do anw. sighz. But i also realised that purpose is not something that can be discovered simply by staying at home and mopping around. It's not something that can be found within a certain time limit. So i guess i'm just gonna let nature take its course and hopefully i'll find it very soon. Jiayou!
