So the other day I was attending a session which focused on leadership qualities and we were given an assignment to write a three line mission of our life. At that time, I thought it was an easy task and I would do it anyhow. However, I kept on thinking for a week and finally this came to my mind and I realized that I had been working on my mission of life already since years without realizing. So here is what I wrote:

" I am in this World because God has created me. Over the years, my mission of life has changed from being materialistic to spiritual. I think the most important mission is to understand what God plans for us and sometimes, His plans really amaze me. Therefore, it is important to maintain the bond with God. I have also realized that it is important to well maintain the bonds with humans and specially blood relations. In order to incorporate the above mentioned elements in my life and balance these elements with my own wishes, I try to fulfill my own wants, while maintaining these valuable bonds"

Because nothing is more pure than God's love for you. There were times when He did not fulfill my most desired wishes. I was deeply traumatized. My soul was wounded and I would not stop asking Him why He did it with me. With time, I realized He gave me even more valuable gifts in return. I realized that my wants were not a good choice for me. I would not have survived if He had fulfilled my wish at that time. But He knew. And He knows. Everything! And I know that in future as well I will face such situations again where my wants will clash with what God gives me. But this is the reality. We have to surrender to Him. Sometimes we understand His wisdom, sometimes we fail to understand. But this keeps on going. I know every blow which get in my life will help me get closer to the creator.
