Life's Objectives

What's your life's objectives?

Surely, at one time or another, this question may have crossed your mind. A myriad of things may have come to mind. But you just cannot put your finger what your life's objectives then.

It would appear that one's life objectives are closely intertwined with one's purpose for having been born into this world. Well, at least for most people. Many people, unfortunately or fortunately, have no idea what life has to offer. They may drift from one day to the next, not caring what the future holds in store for them. It has been said that there is bliss in ignorance.

But most people want to get something out of life. Some may argue that this is no objective at all. Even if it is, this appears to be a negative objective. Life is not only about getting benefits but contributing something beneficial. It is like putting some money into your bank account.

Which is better? To get something out of life or to make use of one's talents to make life better for oneself and one's fellowmen?

For those who believe in the Creator, they know that they were born into the world for a certain purpose. And it is not to take and take and to receive and receive. It is said that it is more blessed to give than to receive. It is in giving that one receive more and merit to keep on receiving. It one only take something from life, it is like withdrawing money from one's bank account without putting anything back.

Some say that they feel joy when they give out of generosity without expectation of any return. They would not have it any other way.

Life is a journey. Having some form of life's objectives can help you steer towards a certain direction, be it good or bad. After all, every human being has the freedom to choose between good and evil, to live one's life solely for oneself or for others, too. However, it is proven on too many occasions that the wrong choice leads to unhappiness and even destruction of one's future and the future of others, including the destruction of lives.

So ensure a healthy life's bank account by choosing the right life's objectives.
