Fulfil Your Purpose
Stagnant freshwater turns foul, leftover food turns stale, abandoned cars become dysfunctional, absentee property deteriorates, and docked ships rust.
According to natural law, everything is constantly fulfilling the purpose for which it was created. When it stops playing its part in the theatre of life, it has to leave the stage.
Freshwater fish annually exert tremendous effort to swim upstream to lay eggs. Penguins face bitter cold nesting in the dead of the Antarctic winter. Monarch butterflies migrate thousands of kilometers annually. The humble bee spends a lifetime of effort to produce a single spoonful of honey.
These creatures full of action testify to their liveliness. They are constantly contributing to the drama of life. Yet, some of us long to become inert. This desire to “retire” represents the lack of proper personal perspective in life. When the journey is strenuous and does not make sense anymore, it is tempting to stop. Thus, the lack of new goals and projects makes an active man inert.
Planets do not halt their motion, tides do not die, and seasons do not pause while the rivers keep flowing. Like everything in the universe, we have a purpose that we need to discover and keep alive.
