Purpose

What is one's purpose in life? Is there a destiny for everyone? What did God decide our life should be when he created us?

Let me go back to god? I like to see his mind, understand why does he want to have 6 billion people on a single entity in this vast endless space. Were Sergie brin and Larry Page desitined to start google.com the day they were born, or did they have the consciousness to realize they would want to make something out of their lives.

I believe the choices we make forges our destinies and our lives. If we were created with pre-defined life sets, who we would meet, where we would live, what is the "Fun" in it for god? I guess he/she...starts you into this world with a purpose, and it is you and your concious that drive you through life. I have always believed that one can fight destiny. Become who you want. My greatest inspiration - "Wilma Rudolph". A black american, born prematurely at 4.5lbs, who fought seggregation, who had polio, walked with metal braces on her feet, yet in the 1960 Rome Olympics, at the age of 20, went on to win 3 Gold medals for the USA, inculding the 100m, 200m and 400m. History I guess set us up with many examples, the question is do we believe that we have it within us?

Often, it has been argued about: if we all had the same creator, why do we have such drastic socio-economic lives? Philosophically, i guess we all have our purpose in life. If i could explain it in a rather crude way, is eating more important than excreting. I dont think so? Both serve as functions that keep our body healthy and going. It is just that one seems more attractive that the other. It is true, opportunities are hard to come by when we are less fortunate than others. But, in no way do i agree that, it is a dead zone. My answer to everything is - will power! Do you have it in you to do it.

So the question is what is it that you what to do with your life? Are you conscious enough to realize your potential?

TIME:

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
