Hey there! I want to share a bit about my personal journey in discovering my purpose in life. It wasn't always easy, and for the longest time, I felt like I was stumbling in the dark, trying to figure out who I truly was.

I grew up in a family with strong values and beliefs. While these values were important, they sometimes overshadowed my own identity. I found myself conforming to their expectations and beliefs without fully understanding what I wanted.

It was during this phase of my life that I realized I needed something more. I yearned for a purpose that extended beyond my immediate self-interest. I wanted to make a positive impact on the world, to leave a mark that wasn't just about accumulating wealth or personal success.

One of the turning points for me was when I started working with underprivileged children. Their smiles, their resilience in the face of adversity, and their boundless potential opened my eyes. It was in those moments of teaching and learning from them that I began to sense my purpose taking shape. I wanted to be a source of support and inspiration for these young souls, to help them build better lives.

The values of love and respect became my guiding principles. I realized that success, as defined by society, was not my ultimate goal. Instead, I remembered a saying by The Mother of the Pondicherry Ashram: "Success is for your own progress, not for society." These words resonated with me deeply.

My purpose became clear: I wanted to lead a life driven by love, respect, and the desire to uplift those around me, especially those less fortunate. I understood that true success was not measured by material wealth, but by the positive impact I could make on the lives of others.

Today, I am on a path that aligns with my purpose. I still face challenges and moments of doubt, but I hold onto the belief that by living a life guided by love and respect, I am not only making progress for myself but also contributing to the betterment of society. And in that journey, I have found the sense of purpose I had been searching for all along.
