Today I was posed a difficult question, it is about my purpose or mission in life. Whenever I think about personal mission statement, following words always come in my mind;
To Live, To Learn, To Love and Leave a Legacy.
At times I keep on mentioning to my friends, what if days are of 48 hours, to maximize living. Whenever I reflect on the word TO LIVE, one person RICHARD BRANSON, the Virgin CEO, comes in my mind. His words are so close to my heart, he says, “My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them...from the perspective of wanting to live life to the full, I felt that I had to attempt it”.
When it comes to learning, I always have hunger to learn, to learn about people, culture, societies, visiting various places, exploring the hidden beauty of human civilization.
At times Steve Jobs words occupies my mind “Stay Foolish & Stay Hungry”, I am so sure that its hunger that opens avenues.
While thinking about the topic I also came across that there are area of concerns, well one may show concerns but very little one can change such as the overall country or socio-political behavior of individual. However, it is the area of influence we tend to ignore, the area where we can bring maximum change, be it small.
When it comes to LOVE, I explore deep down passion for many things, be it sports, adventure, good food & I love my friends and family.
As time passes, I ask one question to myself, what if I am 80 year old, throwing a birthday party and asking all my close ones to say one sentence about me….what would I like them to talk about me!!!!!!! There comes the question of leaving a legacy.
I wish I fulfil my desires of living, learning, loving and leaving a legacy.
I know it requires inner fixing and a paradigm shift along with can do approach and a lot of HUNGER.
