Having Something To Live For

The truth is that if you do not have what to live for, you will most likely fall for anything. It is purpose that makes life worthwhile. Instead of just existing, your purpose and your commitment to pursuing after it will make you to truly live. Living a life that is void of purpose is like playing football in a field without a goalpost - no matter how you sweat and no matter the kind of energy you are able to expend, you will still not end up scoring any goal.

Living without purpose in life is like embarking on a journey without having a destination in mind. Even if you accelerate at a top speed, you will not arrive there because you do not have an idea of where you are going. It is worthy to note that if you do not know where you are going to, every place you arrive at will look like it and you may end up stranded. This is why you have to create a purpose for your life and this will give your life a meaning and give you the reasons to live.

If you do not create a reason that will make you to wake up, then sleeping will become inevitable. You should have a driving force that will give you the zeal and the oomph to purpose after success. Imagine a student going through years of studies without writing a single exam, he will not know if progress is being made or not. As a matter of fact, the exams contribute to what drives a student to put in their best towards excellence.

You need to create a dream - something big to make you stretch beyond your limit. If your dreams do not drive you or spur you to actions, then they may not be as big as they should be. To be able to pursue after a dream, you must first create a dream in the first place. When the dream is created, then you have to plan towards its execution. However, stopping at just dreaming or at just planning will not actualize the dream, there is a need for you to go a step further to put your dreams into work.

In the course of going after your dream, you may be met with challenges but that should also motivate you because the presence of challenges only signify that, at least, you are doing something right. In a football match, when the stakes become high (like the Champions' league finals), the opposition become tougher. In the same way, when it seems the challenges that come to you become heavier and tougher, just know that you are on the edge of your breakthrough.

If you keep your eyes on a bigger picture of tomorrow, you will not fall for the challenges of today. One of the reasons people give up is because they have not been able to see beyond the bend and they do not have the hope of something better better. However, when you keep your optimism in place, backed by determination, then your dream will be fulfilled.
