Purpose of Life

It seems to be natural for a human being to want to make things complicated. Making things complicated is sometimes mistaken for a sign of intelligence, but it is actually more intelligent to make things simple, isn’t it? Carl Jung once said that “the simple things in life are the hardest to do, that is why people don’t do them.” We want to be rich, famous, loved by all.. everything are ego wants. Ego wants to be the best, and greatest. Ego will always want more, and will also make you feel like you are separate from the rest of the world. In reality we are all connected and what affects one of us affects the rest of us. It is important to help the people and environment around you as a way to help yourself. Which brings me to the first fundamental principle of life: Help yourself so that you can help others. Since you are born with nothing and will die with nothing, there is only really one thing you can actually do while you are here; Give yourself to others. A reported asked Albert Einstein in a interview, “What is the purpose of life? Why are we here?” Einstein replied, “I am simply here to serve other men.” That is the purpose of life, to serve each other. Giving is simply human nature. For example, the little girl who takes pleasure in helping her mom set the table. This is who we are before we learn to fear the ridicule of others. Ego will make your purpose much more confusing, you want to do something cool that everyone will like, instead of what is needed. Earl Nightingale is a huge advocate for the fact that, our success can only be attained by our service to others and that our success will depend upon the success of the people around us. We need to be grateful, loving, ENTHUSIASTIC, and supportive human beings. Learn so you can teach, want for others what you want for yourself, and never stop giving. Keep you life simple, This is how you can HELP YOURSELF, SO YOU CAN HELP OTHERS. “The less you are, the more you receive.” -Jagadish Vasudev, a.k.a. Sadhguru.
