Corona & Purpose of Life

CORONA AND PURPOSE OF LIFE

Readers would be astonished over the title.

Yes. But this is the deepest truth and truest fact. Corona has led many of us in the directions of our life purpose.

For those who believe, everyone of us is born with a purpose to fulfil on earth called as life purpose. And interestingly we are totally unaware of this. Have we known this, our lives would have been much easier but then, we would have missed upon some important lessons that life wants us to learn from wandering in search of that life purpose which makes our journey completely worth It. Yes! Our whole life we keep on wandering in search of job, home and our dreams. We continuously chase things one after the other pondering less on the why part.

The moment we get answers for all our why’s, is the moment of enlightenment and we stop on a destination called life purpose. Corona has deliberately made many of us take this, essential stop. No one wants to stop, but for corona, when many of us were locked in the four walls of our homes, we pondered. Isn’t it? Many lost jobs, many lost families and many more lost their homes. This was the cruel part of the pandemic which was inevitable. But these forced holidays gave us all the time to re-align our lives according to our priorities, quite the real ones.

Many were forced to leave the job of their dreams and plunge into new start-ups. Like a novice swimmer, the fact that every bit of the struggle they did earlier, had to be done again, afresh- suffocated and sent shivers into their beings. But now when you have risen above that initial shock, ask yourself, if corona had not been there would you still have chosen this new path in your career? Not all, but majority would answer assertively. Right?

As a doctor, life coach and a tarot card reader, I met innumerable people who still blame the pandemic for the loss of their chosen career path and for being forced to take up new ventures. And here, I have a healing advice for all those hurt souls, who still have not forgotten and forgiven the trauma. Please let go. Let go that resentment. Let go what happened. Release from your heart the hurt, the pain, the mistakes. Just learn the lesson life taught you. May be, this was the very harsh way, the Universe made you follow your life purpose. But accept it. May be, you were not meant to do what you were doing before the pandemic. May be, you were not meant to stay where you stayed before the pandemic. Tell your heart it’s perfectly alright. Let go. When you leave the old, you usher in the new. Accept it. Accept whatever comes to you. May be what you are pursuing now is related to your life purpose. May be, this new path will lead you to a path of abundance and self- growth which might not have happened if you followed the old path. Go and take that leap of faith. Change the meaning you give to the situations that happen around you. Our emotions respond to this meaning.

After all life is about rising above the storm and finding the sunshine.
