Why you need a purpose
Every human being should know that he/she was created by a supreme being whose name is Allah, and this creator as said in His book[Qur’an] that:- “Did you think that We(Allah, that “we” is plural of majesty) had created you in play[without any purpose] and that you would not be brought back to us?…”(Q23:116)
In the above verse we can draw out a point which is “You and I were not created for fun”
So from this point we now understand that we were created for a purpose (i.e to worship God)
Before we go on we need to understand what purpose means.
Purpose: - can be defined as the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.
Surely from the above definition, you should have deduced that having a “purpose” for things we do is the backbone of any action we are taking and if eventually we find ourselves doing things without any purpose, it’s as if we are wasting our time.
If we can have people doing many things without any purpose, we could also have people doing one with many purposes.
For example: –
We could go to school in order to;
1. Obey God’s commandment to seek Knowledge
2. Satisfy our parents’ will.
3. Be liberated from ignorance
4. Be liable to secure good jobs
5. Be among the elite in the society
From above you could see that I have been able to extract at least 5 purposes just for going to school alone, so how can we have someone going to school without any purpose.
Advice: As I have extract 5 purposes for going to school you should try and fish out as many purposes as possible for living, sleeping, bathing, reading, playing and so on
Now back to the main topic of the day.
Importance Of Having A Purpose
Whether you are a muslim, a christian, an atheist, a man or a woman. For you to live a life that is pleasant, admirable, unirritating, you must have a good purpose for eating, reading, sleeping, playing and above all LIVING or else your world would be tasteless even to yourself.
Below, I have listed some reasons why you need to have purpose for things you are doing or you are about to do:-
* Success: – Many people are out there today, with fame, money, connections, knowledge just take a look at aliko dangote in africa, mark Zuckerberg of facebook, bill Gates of Microsoft, Yusuf Qaradawi of Egypt, Zakir Naik of India and many more, these people attained that post, because they have a purpose for there actions and reactions, these don’t play games all the time, waste their time on going out for fun and so on. If you want success, then start planning about what you want to be..
* Health: – Some might wonder how setting a purpose makes one healthy, but what you might not know is that setting a purpose and striving towards it safe you from a bad/deadly character.
What I am saying is that, when you have a purpose and strive towards it, it would help you ignore/dettach yourself from distractions (such as gaming everytime, having inactive brain, having illicit relationship with opposite/same gender)
If you have a purpose, as a youth you will be able to:-
- Safe your time and also you will safe yourself from major love diseases (having hatred, depression, overthinking etc) which can kill at a very young age.
- Be selective of friends you will deal with, and this saves you from having bad friends/character which wouldn't contribute to the achievement of your purpose(s).
Happiness : -. This is a very important item in everybody's life. If you would like to experience it, you should put "having a good purpose for things you do" into consideration.
When you are about to do something and you have no aim or target for that particular thing, you will eventually finish doing that thing with no positive effect on your body. BUT when you have set a purpose for doing something, and you finally achieve that aim/purpose/goal, certainly, your mood will change to a much better one, but if you are unable to achieve that goal, it shouldn't be a source of depression as some might have turned frustrated, sad and they might have think that they are a failure, but alas it's not like that, because they have learnt what does that do not fail have not learnt(i.e they have learned how not to fail the same way, therefore exposing them to know more about such thing).. When you fail, know that failing is necessary but losing to failure is strongly discouraged.. You have to stand up to your feet and try it again and again until you achieve it..
I shall stop here, but to round it all up, I will give an advice which is:-
" Make sure you have a good purpose for what you do"
