The Aim of Life

“An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.”

-Robert Louis Stevenson

In running about each day from dawn to dusk, all of us forget to look into ourselves to find out what our aim in life is. We forget that we have to live, not merely exist.

We wish to achieve our goals, but even ourselves are not aware of them. We should think and introspect so that we realize what our goal actually is. As Stephen Killong has rightly said, “The moment you put a deadline on your dream, it becomes a goal.”

Our aims should not be defined by the success and failure of others or material desires, they should be achieving what we believe in and by doing so, monetary benefits will follow. We should also aim to be the best version of ourselves. But, we should not stop at our personal goals. The actual purpose of life is to is to spread cheer, positivity and knowledge around the globe. To provide support to those who need it the most but expect it the least. Helping Mother Earth and its people to heal should be the aim of our life.

To achieve our goals, we must be proactive, focused, positive and ready to embrace any hurdle in the journey. But, most importantly, we should believe that we are capable of achieving our goals, because an ‘I Can’ is more important than an IQ. So, let us begin our journey towards achieving our aim in life with our eyes on the stars and feet on the ground.
