The point of culmination!!

While i sit back at my house and waiting for my joining date to come,my mind is flowing like a sea with a lot of thoughts. The thoughts keep moving in and out of mind like the waves hitting the shore.One such thought is what is the point of culmination of my life.Why am i waiting for my joining date? What am i going to do in my life?.

Then realization dawned upon me, hang on, what is life in the first place?? Then my mind started taking me to a different genre of thoughts.I was having a scramble of thoughts and here I put those thoughts in the same way as it originated in my mind.

I totally forgot about the physical myself (career & all that shit) and started thinking about the spiritual myself. Why are we here?? What is the exact meaning of life?? Is life just a dream from which we never awake??Are we submerged by our own feelings, by our loves and hates, by our own ideas of good,bad,beautiful,awful?? Is there an afterlife?? People have struggled for eons to answer these questions. Wars have been fought over them. But as much as these questions cause people to lose their heads (sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally), the bottom line is that these are very practical questions.

Love gives meaning to our lives – as do friendship, or art or faith in God. These are factors of true happiness, of inner peace, of feelings of harmony, allowing meaning to our existence.

But there is the other side. There is the cruelty of life, the pain, the evil, not to talk of death. They are the hidden tigers, ambushed and ready to attack the imprudent.

Is between these pendulums - the positive, the one that gives happiness and meaning, and the negative - that our lives are lived. And when we meditate about all that, we arrive at a diverse and disagreeing set of thoughts about the meaning and purpose of life.

The way we answer these questions will provide the ultimate context for everything else we do with our lives. If we place any value on our lives at all, we must give some consideration to these questions. Let’s say you have your life organized around goals, projects, and actions. You set a goal like starting a new business. You break it down into projects like writing a business plan and launching it. And then you break those projects down into actions like going to the bank to open a business account and registering your domain name. Fair enough.

But why start the business in the first place? What’s the point? Why pick this goal vs. any other goal? Why even set goals at all?

What determines the goals you set (or don’t set) is your context. Your context is your collection of beliefs and values. So if the values of money and freedom are part of your context, you might be inclined to set a goal to start a new business. But with different kinds of values — a different context — you may be disinclined to set goals at all.

The most significant part of your context is your collection of beliefs about the nature of reality, which includes your religious, spiritual, and philosophical beliefs. Context dictates goals. Goals dictate projects. Projects dictate actions. Actions dictate results.

Within a certain context, it will be virtually impossible for you to achieve certain results because you’ll never set the required goals that will lead to those results.Your context works like a filter. When you are inside a particular context, you lose access to the potential goals, projects, and actions that lie outside that context.

Why is there something rather than nothing? We do not know. We will never know. Why? To what purpose? We do not know whether there is a purpose. But if it is true that nothing is born of nothing, the very existence of something – the world, the universe – would seem to imply that there has always been something: At this juncture there are 2 ways to approach it one is idealistic that being is eternal, uncreated, perhaps creator, and this is what some people call God.
The other is materialistic, some people argue that everything is made up of matter.

Every one of us see the better, and approve.But We follow the worst.Do your current beliefs empower you to be your best, or do they doom you to live as a mere shadow of what you could be? Can you honestly say that you are doing your best or very close to it? Are you living congruently with your most deeply held beliefs? Whatever your religious or spiritual beliefs, how well do you practice them? Do you walk your talk?

If you really believe something, you will act in accordance with that belief — always.

Actions, not words, reveal beliefs. If you want to understand what you truly believe, observe your actions. This may take some courage to do, but if you follow the trail of your actions, it will lead you to a more congruent belief system. And once there you can begin consciously moving towards new beliefs that empower you, while your actions and beliefs remain congruent along the way. But you’ll make no progress as long as you claim to believe one thing but consistently act in violation of it. Most people in such a situation will spend time trying to get their actions to better reflect their so-called beliefs… and meet with nothing but frustration. I say first get your beliefs in line with your actions and reach the point of being totally honest with yourself, doubts and all. Then you’ll find it far easier to move forward. Don’t be afraid to do this — no divine being is going to smite you for being honest with yourself. And if one ever happens to show up, you always have me to use as a scapegoat.

Although it can be a bumpy ride (it certainly was for me), you’ll come out at the other end as a far more integrated and empowered human being. Internal incongruencies and peer pressures absolutely cripple us, forcing us to live on only a fraction of our potential. When our actions and beliefs are in conflict, we can’t think as well. We become less intelligent and less resourceful — easily manipulated by others. We have no clarity at all, and we can’t seem to get moving in a consistent direction. We’re like a rudderless ship, being tossed around by the waves.

Congruency is clarity. When you get clear about what you truly believe about reality by observing your actions and admitting the deepest, darkest truths to yourself that you never wanted to face, you’ll set yourself on a path of growth that will put all your earlier accomplishments to shame. You’ll unlock access to resources that were previously dormant — greater intelligence, greater awareness, greater conscience. And you’ll finally start living up to the greatness that has been long buried under a pile of denial.

And then you can make the biggest decision of all. How shall you live, and for what?...................
