Our life is a journey and during this entire journey one can't stop even for a while. This entire journey is not just a matter of failure or success..... In fact it begins with the birth and continues till one die... Does it mean that the aim of the life is to simply move on till our death.....No, it can't be....!!!
Then what is the meaning of this entire journey...???
Actually when I think about it, I find that starting from childhood...Adolescence...youth and then getting old...all is set...and at any point of time if someone try to remain in any of these stages then its just not possible...absolutely not possible.....

nature then how to make our life meaningful and valuable...??? Because simply living the whole span of life is in no way an achievement, In fact its a natural process and every living thing on this earth lives its span of life....So what we as a human should do to make this journey valuable...???
At times, for fulfilling our dreams and getting our ambitions achieved, we just keep on running behind the goal and while running blindly into this race, we just don't notice that when n how our VALUES...MORALS and IDEALS have started losing its breath.....
So, can there be an end of our dreams....our ambitions...???
Well, I personally feel that its always necessary to have some control over our ambitions....Now one may argue that to succeed one should have ambitions and i do agree that one must be ambitious butttttttt my point is he/she should never be overambitious.
Actually one must learn the technique to resist him/herself from entering into the blind race of life kn this materialistic age because our life is precious and its not at all to simply run behind goals blindly.... In fact during this entire journey there has to be some space for satisfaction, so that our VALUES....MORAL and IDEALS remain intact and at no stage of life they start feeling breathlessness......
So in my view the purpose of life(apart from different beliefs or religious explanations) is to complete this journey with integrity without damaging our Values, Morality and Ideals.

clear and simple post !
ReplyDeletegood values has been mentioned :)
Purpose of life is to start, lead and end a happy, satisfied journey !
yes, very important point by you there "in the end one should feel like completing a satisfied journey"...thank you.
DeleteHello Irfanji,
ReplyDeleteVery true. Holding on to values and morals in life saves us from many problems. One must not let his ethics take a backseat to join the rat race of life.
Good to see you here AS....thanks for the visit....:)
DeleteHow are you doing..???
I agree BUT if we all think like this there wud be no new inventions ..no new technology ...no new theories and implementations ..life wud be like stagnant water ..
ReplyDeleteI would say change is spice of life and variety is something that gives a chance to mew entrepreneurs to step inn...so
purpose of life ..when we leave the world people shld say "here goes another one with generations to remember "
(that what they said when Steve Jobs left the world)
it can be anyone ...even a social worker or helping needy ...BUT a face in the crowd :)
and to do all this you mentioned, there is no need to leave those professional ethics at any point in our life i suppose....Thank you.
DeleteVery deep topic and unfortunately I don't agree with your conclusion. Values, Morals, Ideals all change through our lives whether we realize it or not.
ReplyDeleteWithout hijacking your page, I'd just share my own philosophy of life which is in this quote:
PLAN for tomorrow,
LIVE for today,
PARTY tonight!!
well my friend...there is no point of hijacking..its all about our opinions and difference of opinion can always be there....
Deleteand yes, i agree with ur philosophy and this will be perhaps more effective if we do these keeping those three ingredients intact....thank you.
There is no guarantee that we will all live up to old age. My take on life is to live it to the fullest, loving the best and not to keep grudges. The rest will all fall in place if these are taken care of...
ReplyDeleteAGREE.....
Deleteand how about living the life to fullest by keeping our VALUES intact.....THank you.
I think more than the purpose, you have set in the value of living our life.
ReplyDeleteI do agree it's dynamic ~ we undergo stages and for that we say goodbye to some things and move on to new ones inorder to grow.
I commend you for what you have strongly pointed out here...I was tempted to look at the younger generation but IDEALS, MORALS, VALUES hold true even for us, more so because the youth look up to us as role models.
We should then live these IDEALS and MORALS ~ preaching it with our actions more than words...gently reminding the people around us that we are responsible for each other.
Wonderful come back post Irfan :)
I always appreciate the way you reflect on each n every post.....and yes one must practice these before preaching and believe me i am sincerely trying to do that.....:)
DeleteTHank you.
Irfan bhai,
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring post.
Our jouney through this world can't be without serious purpose. Leaving the religion aside, as per common sense we need to live peacefully and let others live peacefully as well.
Prefering to serve others over us is real sacrifice which can be the best example for the whole humanity.
Take care my friend!
How are you Tariq Bhai....
ReplyDeleteThanks for this en-lighting comment....THank you.
Agree Irfan! There is a difference between living life and living life well! One should strive for latter:)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable,
ReplyDeleteto be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something,
to have made some difference that you lived at all.
Agree with ur points here...thank you.
DeleteWell said.. To be frank when we keep our values intact then we have the complete satisfaction..Our instinct will be happy for not breaking the values and morals of our life..Simple yet beautiful post Irfanji:)
ReplyDeletethanks a lot for that encouraging comments...:)
DeleteI am fine Irfanji, How are you? How are things going at your end??
ReplyDeleteI am also fine and things are smooth now....thank you.
DeleteKeep visiting.
Very true and I’m beside u at this journey! Looking back the path come across has been almost forgotten today and there is only one goal that I want to go ahead... Winning the heart is significant than the world champion.
ReplyDeletethanks for echoing my thougts here Jeevan.
DeleteIndeed, very well expressed.
ReplyDeletevery true what you say Irfaan. do what your heart says with all your heart and values , just make sure you don't hurt anyone deliberately .
ReplyDeleteall religions teach the same thing yet we humans use that religion to wreck havoc on others all the time
Bikram's
you are right sir, even the religions preach for same but unfortunately people interprate it as per their convenience...thank you.
DeleteLive life to end it on a satisfatory note. Great thought! Can everyone be satisfied in this world? Thats the question. I agree keeping morals ,ideals and values intact a person can lead his life with happiness and content but is he/she still satisfied? Nice post and food for thought.
ReplyDeleteno,,,,everyone can't be satisfied but a big chunk of ppl can be provided they try honestly n genuinely.....thank you.
DeleteWe all are here for some specific purpose and I totally agree leading the whole life is not enough to make it purposeful.
ReplyDeleteOur moral values and ideals need to be conserved for the each stage. They virtue our senses and identification to be followed!
A great post indeed :)
Glad you liked it...Thank you.
DeleteI agree to what you say Irfan... Its important to have a good and a fair life which happens only if you stick to your values...
ReplyDeleteyes...its important to stick on principles n values... thank you.
Deletevery well said we should never leave our morals values, infact today when i was watching the mummy i realized what happened to the person who became over ambitious nd left his morals :) liked the way u convey
ReplyDeleteyaa...being overambitious often costs us too much.... i am glad you liked it...thank you.
DeleteLife is allabout living by ones conviction.
ReplyDeleteLiving a life without harming anyone.
Being honest as much as possible
Agree here with you Sir,
Deletethank you.
"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what is heaven for? " wrote Robert Browning . There is nothing wrong in being ambitious but that does not mean that one that to meet one's ambition , others are to be trampled under foot.
ReplyDeleteBesides, "हम क्या कहे अहबाब क्या कारे-नुमाया कर गए बी ए हुए, नौकर हुए, पेंशन मिली, फिर मर गए .." only speaks of life routinely spent, with no achievement or meaning whatever. This situation is also not good.
A thought provoking post !
those hindi lines are so true for most of us....we simply live our life earning bread n butter...nothing significant.....
DeleteThank you.
Rightly said, I think we need to see the bigger picture in life...
ReplyDeleteand while earning our bread n butter, we r just notable to do that somehow...
DeleteThank you.
one of the most difficult questions that we spend a lifetime trying to find an answer to!
ReplyDeletebut you did manage to answer it quite simply and well
Thank you Sujatha....
DeleteVery well said, one should not loose his true character, value while chasing any ambition or dream but it does not happens usually. We instead of listening to our heart calling, we include ourselves in blind race of the society and we always try to out do each other. Contentment is bigger concept and sometime it is very hard to measure contentment level. So in this confusion people start compromising with their soul and start making it dirty.
ReplyDeleteSo My thought on this would be people should listen to their heart and completly enjoy the journey without the fear of failure or success.
Lovely write up...
and i ditto on ur thoughts completely....
DeleteThank you.
Hello Irfanji,
ReplyDeleteNice views. in fact I also had some thoughts regarding the same topic, about time, and timelessness..
then, why don't you write those thoughts, i would love to read....
DeleteThank you.
Irfanuddin,
ReplyDeleteRead 2 pending posts now. Both have very valuable and constructive suggestions. Blend of old and youth will surely do wonders if it is taken seriously. One should have dreams or ambitions but should never wilfully harm someone to achieve those.
Take care
thanks for read Sir...
DeleteThought provoking views. If we don't put our values behind the back, we will not overambitious.
ReplyDeletewelcome here at my space....glad to have you here.
DeleteThank you.
THanks for the wonderful comment n for the appreciations as well....
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Very good thoughts here....Even I believe that its of no use running after ones goals at the cost of moral values, integrity etc. Being a good human being is more important than anything else.
