Purpose Extends Life

The reason why we find an increase in suicide rate today is that. People feel they are not worth living or they have nothing to accomplish or they can accomplish nothing they don’t find a definite reason or purpose to live life.

We also find that people when they become old, and are free of responsibilities and burdens, feel that they have nothing to do, then they start thinking about death. All the early years of life are spent in thinking about the career, family life, responsibilities or burdens and preparing for them.

So, we don’t think about anything else. But at one point of time, when we feel that we don’t have anything to do anything to accomplish they we start developing these thoughts of death. So it is very important that to have a extended life or to live long it is very important to set goals at every stage of life.

There is higher and purpose that God has set for each and every one of our life. Life is not just to live for the sake of our own family, work for them, earn for them and one fine day die thinking about them.

When we extend our thought process our life extends, we should prepare mentally that we have a long life to live. Why because we have a responsibility towards ourselves and towards others. Many people plan for life after retirement, instead of imagining that by retirement we will be old sick and will be able to do nothing.

Think and plan how to lead a healthy retired life. Have some goals, all these years you have been spending your life for family, think what you can do to the society and in what way you can be of help to your fellow beings. May be you can teach, may be you can write, may be you can share your knowledge and experience with the younger ones and guide them.

There will be something that you can do to make your life better and other people’s life better. Find out that reason and start living for that reason, that reason will give you strength and will make you want to live more so that you can give more.

So, never think that life ends after retirement or after you reach certain age. Life ends when you think you have nothing to do here. Find a purpose to live life, for the betterment of yourself and the upliftment of the people and you will lead a long life.
