Life wisdom: Finding purpose

Purpose can spring from something simple, like a hobby, or more complex, such as contributing your service to your community in some way. While there's no one formula to find that inspiration, there are ways to cultivate it. Here are 10 suggestions to get you started, adapted from the Harvard Special Health Report Self-Care (/scshr). 

2. Think about the obstacles you have overcome in your life.

3. Draw up a purpose timeline.

4. Look for role models.

5. Become a mentor and share your knowledge and skills.

6. Think about what the world needs.

7. Read Viktor Frankl's book Man's Search for Meaning.

8. Write your own story.

9. Write your own obituary. 

(You can do this at any age, maybe not for publication - just for yourself or your family. What do you want to be remembered for? Can any of that inform your purpose now? If you haven't yet achieved something you're especially proud of, remember that it's not too late.)

10. Picture yourself winning the lottery.

Poem: Save me

Save me the joy you experience

When you live the life aside of mine

Save me the calls of experiences 

When you on the life's alter.

Save me the colour Red

For it has never been kind

Save me the moments of joy

For I have never had mine

Save me

Save me the beauty of sunrise

For I have witnessed trauma in my eyes

Save me the smell of coffee

For I had only smelled the crafts of a coffin

Save me 

Save me

Save me from my life

For it has seen many nights

Of kids who die with scars

Save me the night full of stars

And not the dice of cards

For life had played me

Far too long

Save me

Save me from this dark hole

For I still lust the love of Home

Poem: A man's life

It's 12am, I'm woken by a noise

Some say I'm happy

But I don't have a choice.

The women I married

Keep changing over night.

We don't see eye to eye

Without it turn into a fight

I vowed to love her till death do is apart.

The women I married keep shouting over night.

I am the man of the house

With a WOMAN who wears

Pants in the house

Every minute I spend with her

Makes me regret our vows

The woman I married

What is it I don't do right?

Our marriage turned into a fight

When it's 3AM i go to work

And when I arrived it's all war

Why didn't I see this before

That I won't be happy

But today I file in DIVORCE

I don't say much

My writing says it all

We don't communicate

It's like fire and rain

And with all that said

I laydown the ring

You never show me respect

Your actions has pushed me away.

To the woman I married

Today I leave the regret

Matrics, always remember ...

the cost of discipline is always LESS than the price of regret. So, self-discipline, is the BIGGEST investment for success in LIFE!
