Purpose and believing:

 Purpose + belief = efficiency and satisfaction

Here is a list of questions that we hardly know the answers. Do we really know the purpose of things that we do daily?? Do we try to know the purpose?? Do we do the things only for the sake of completing it?? In the process of doing the task we may have a question i.e. what am I doing?? (Blank, don’t know). After completing the task, why did I do?? Was this relevant to me!! These are the questions that haunt us and most of the time we don’t have any answer, which leads to lack of satisfaction and efficiency.

The confusion in our mind can be reduced by exploring the purpose of doing the task. As a lay man I don’t know the purpose of living life! Infact I’ve just started to explore it. But we should know the purpose of small things which we do daily. Before or after completing the task we have to know the purpose for our own satisfaction. For instance the purpose of going to college is to “gain knowledge” or to “have fun” or “both”, depends on the person. But when we don’t realize why we are going, the result is unsatisfactory. We all commit mistakes, that too big mistake due to not knowing the purpose. The purpose seems to be abstract, most of the time. It is always subject to change.

Purpose or beliefs are the two aspects which we ought to possess to gain satisfaction. They are inter-related. As I’ve mentioned in the above paragraphs, knowing the purpose of doing the task is very important. But to know or to explore the purpose we ought to believe in the things we do. It’s really hard to do the things which we don’t believe in. When you believe in certain thing it allows you to perform the task in a better manner, which is our goal. Expecting the good result without believing in it will not fetch us anything.  For most of the things that we do daily, we neither know the purpose nor do we believe in its value! Even then we’ll complete the task but get no satisfaction.

Do the things in which you are interested or if you’ve taken up the task without interest, do cultivate the interest towards it. That’ll surely enhance your efficiency. At some point you’ll start believing in it and perform the task in a better manner!!
