Rediscovering My Reason for Living - LOH #285

I remember taking a pause at a point in my life to really ask myself a deep and thoughtful question. The moment unfolded when I felt really overwhelmed about life and many challenges on my end.

---

If I should be sincere, I questioned my living and wished to go back to God and have my rest, maybe a kind of foolish thought those days, but that's by the way. I questioned God about many things. I compared my family with others who are close to me. I looked at how healthy their kids are and how I am running around for mine, and I said, "Why me? Why all these rough paths? Why all the rocky roads on my lane?" And then again, I felt like my strength was failing me badly. But the bitter truth I realized was that I am not living by accident; there is a reason I am living, and there is a purpose too.

---

I can equally say that my reason for living presently is deeply rooted in responsibility and purpose. Being a mum, I woke up daily to realize that my kids look up to me. They depend on me for many things; they also learn from me, and that alone motivates me to keep on pushing even when I am totally overwhelmed. I am living up to my responsibility for my kids, and that's enough to live, despite all odds.

---

However, aside from motherhood, I have come to realize that living my purpose entails becoming a better version of myself. Laying aside every distraction and pursuing my personal growth, I put my personal needs and peace first rather than constantly sacrificing for others because can one really pour from an empty cup?

Living my purpose entails that I take care of my mind, my health, my emotions, and my dreams/visions in life and not leave it to chance.

---

Overall what keeps me pushing ahead is the hope that my tomorrow will be better and the responsibility of my kids while I strive to ensure their better tomorrow as well. So yeah, I have many reasons for living and living intentionally as at that; raising my kids with undiluted love and wisdom, building a meaningful life, and becoming someone I am proud of, and indeed, that's enough for sure!
