The Purpose Of My Soul

This poem written by Anirban Saren is about discovering a key lesson in life from a brief but quite special experience.Happiness is the goal.

I saw you struggling from across the tables,
McDonald’s cleaning lady was one of your labels,
But beyond all names you are still special,
Until you’ve achieved your goals please never settle.

I saw someone came to help you,
Maybe a friend or colleague whom you knew,
Good people do exist in this world,
To believe in goodness, let that be my final word.

I saw my bubble tea was ready to drink,
And as I started to consume and think,
I lost sight of you,
But your memory is something I hold to.

I saw the beauty of life in your memory,
Sometimes I get lost in this reverie,
Then I realize being happy now is life’s only goal,
We never spoke but this realization from you to me was the purpose of my soul.

Thanks for reading this line! It means a lot.

Therapy is one positive change that I made in my life

Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

I’ve been going to the psychologist for psychotherapy for the past 10 years.

And I think it is the most positive change I ever made in my life.

I learnt how to accept myself as I am.

I learn to control my anger to some extent till now.

I learnt how to make good decisions.

I learnt how to be realistic.

I learnt the value of education.

I learnt how to manage my time.

I learnt how to prioritise my own happiness.

I learnt to believe in myself.

Although I still make errors and mistakes. But I’m learning from psychotherapy regularly.

Although it’s nothing to be proud of because you’re supposed to stop therapy when you can deal with your problems alone.

My problems have persisted. And I’m working on it.

I’m glad you read this line. Thanks a lot!

The Purpose of Life

What’s the purpose of life?

I guess the purpose of life is to live a good life.

That’s it.

Although this depends upon your definition of a good life.

But that’s the beauty of life. You get to choose your definition of a good life.

But since everyone has a slightly different definition of a good life, does this make any sense?

It does. Because as long as you’re happy in life living your version of a good life, you have a purpose.

To live your good life, to be happy is the purpose of life.

I’m delighted that you’re reading this line. Thanks a lot!
