What should I do in life?

I am not sure how many of you actually think about what to do in life, but that question has been lingering on my mind for as long as I remember and I had different answers at various times in my life. I see a successful businessman and I want to do business, I see a famous actor and I want to act, I see a powerful politician and I want to enter politics and the list never ends. In retrospection, it didn't actually matter what I wanted to become, I ultimately wanted power, fame, money, security and success. The outcome always excited me but I wonder why I never actually asked myself if I would enjoy being a businessman, a politician or an actor. What if I really work hard and become a successful businessman but I don't enjoy doing business? Maybe sometimes I'll enjoy the money, fame, power and all the rest of it that comes with success. But, is it really worth spending the majority of my life doing something that I don't enjoy?

I strongly believe that life's purpose and the only purpose is to find out what you really enjoy and do it for the rest of your life without worrying about the outcome. If one enjoys painting they should paint without ever thinking about how much money they are going to make or how successful they are going to be. A painter who enjoys his work may not be known to many and may be poor. But, he lives a joyful life because he loves what he is doing. If someone really enjoys doing something they are going to become the best at it and success, fame, money and else everything automatically follows although they don't ask for it. Wouldn't you agree?

 

How wonderful would the world be if everyone does what they love? There would be no greed, jealousy, corruption and all the rest of it. I think it's okay if you die poor and unsuccessful doing something that you love than live rich and successful by doing something that you don't love.
