THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE

The most important thing in life is to do what you like most. Because ultimately it gives you health, wealth and most importantly, happiness.

Naturally we do what we like most. But to make it one’s life work is easier said than done.

One of the difficult things is to find out is what you like most. Most people are, fortunately or unfortunately, endowed with many sided talents. There are people who are gifted both mathematically and artistically. There are others who are good both at sports and music. In fact I have known a few persons who are such abundantly gifted that it is really one of the most difficult task to find out which will make them happiest. It is with time, experience and introspection one comes to understand what gift will really make him happy.

A few are fortunate. They by chance find out what they like most at a very young age. And they pursue it naturally with unwavering attention throughout their whole life. Generally they succeed in life at a young age. They become famous and celebrities. Others are not so lucky. They find it after some failures and sometimes many many failures. But when one finds it, it is important to stick to it. And do it against seemingly overwhelming odds. Every man is subject to mood fluctuations. It is natural that at many times different issues will cloud his mind and tell him to pursue something else that may be more beneficial due to financial or other requirements. However this veering from one’s path becomes the one thing that is greatest hurdle in succeeding, financially and otherwise. This brings unhappiness to oneself. It is when we learn to stick to our own thing even at greatest odds that we become really mature and profoundly happy.

So the stick –to-it eve ness to what one is doing is the second most important thing.

When one does a thing which he likes most, all of his work becomes work of love. And work of love produces quality things. He produces and gives quality things to this world. The world by natural law gives him back quality things to him including health, wealth and glory.

So what we should do when we are in doubt?

Submit yourself to God. He is the doer of all deeds. He will make you do what you should do. The utter submission to God takes away the burden from oneself and releases one’s fountain of energy

A man doing what he loves most has a happy mind. And happy mind gives an unbounded energy. That makes his health robust and strong. This also makes his general disposition and countenance cheerful and likable. And that brings more success.

You may ask what to do with many sided gifts. I think there are many things which require many sided knowledge and flair. But ultimately one has to find for himself what suits him most.

Those who have found their life work are happy men and they are in their way already. But those who have not yet found it, it is not the end of the world. Remember what you have done until now is just the foundation of what you will do from now on. So every experience, every thing that happened in your life is just a preparation for what you are going to do next and achieve.

So be introspective and find it if you have not found it yet.
