Many of us, at one point during our childhood, ask ourself, why are we here? Why did our creator create us? Am I supposed to do something here during my lifetime?
During my childhood, I remember watching a documentary about Mother Teresa and the work she did. I was so inspired by Mother Teresa that I told myself I too want to win the Noble Peace Prize. It is NOT because of the prize, but I believe that when I am given that prize, I have made a huge contribution to humanity during my life time here. I have done what I am supposed to do here during my time on earth.
But through my journey of growth, like many I lost track of why I was here. I got caught up and focused on pursuing Money & Fame, thinking that with Money, I will have a happy and joyful life. I am not saying Money is not good. With Money, we can do much to help humanity. However, some celebrities and successful people who have fame & wealth rather end their lives. Why is that so? What is missing in their lives?
Deep inside I know I have a greater calling. I am sure you too. But many at times we choose to keep “it” quiet. We choose to tell ourselves that we are not that great. We choose to ask ourself – who are we to be great?
The truth, we are all great beings.
In 2002, I attended a seminar which began my journey of transformation. It re-ignited the dreams and goals I had during my childhood. It started me of the quest for knowledge about life. I began reading and listening to many personal development materials. I also began sharing what I have learnt with others. By doing, I started seeing many lives changed and transformed. It really motivated and inspired me to continue and to become a success coach.
Last year (2006), I attended a program called Money & You. In this program, I was introduced to this person named Buckminister Fuller a.k.a. Bucky.
Buckminster Fuller is one of the greatest inventors and thinkers of the twentieth century. He believed that there is a force (he calls it Great Spirit) which intent to make people so successful that they can all live at a standard of living much higher than that achieved by ANYONE else before.
Bucky discovered what he called “Generalised Principles” of the universe. These are principles that are true in all cases. Using these principles will help us make a big positive difference in the world, increase the amount of happiness and blessings in our life and most importantly, fulfil our life’s purpose.
He shared about a principle he calls “Precession”. Just like a bee playing its role to collect nectar to make honey and as a precession, pollinate flowers. Thus the true purpose of the bee is to pollinate flowers. In a similar way, when each and everyone of us start working towards our goals with passion, we are creating precession which is our true purpose in life.
According to Bucky, our purpose is to ADD VALUE to the lives of others, and to the earth – to improve QUALITY OF LIFE. Our purpose is not to make money.
My main goal in life is to reform the education system and bringing humanity back to being HUMAN (Human Being). I hope to inspire the lives of 60 million people (for more…read passion). While pursuing my goal by adding value to others, I hope to create precession to those who cross-path with me either personally or impersonally, helping them become happier beings and moving them forward in all areas of their lives such as having better relationships, more wealth, better health and loving the experience of life’s adventurous journey.
Lastly, we are all a little piece of a huge puzzle that God has created and each one of us plays an important role. By being that little piece, the precession is we create a huge beautiful piece of Art.
Know that you are destined for greatness…By pursuing your dreams and goals and becoming the person you are destined to be, you are living your purpose!
