Purpose
It’s easy to get carried away by the waves. I can float as much as I desire. But the waves might not take me to where I want to go. Even worse, I might find myself brought ashore an island inhabited by cannibals or get trapped into a whirlpool. The colorful underwater world can be alluring. I can sink as low into the sea as I want to. But I might sink too far and hit the rock bottom.
In the midst of the roaring and restless seas I need to be tranquil and aware of my purpose. I might have to choose to flow for a while or go deeper or may be I’ll have to swim against the tide. When I know my purpose … I’ll always have my choices and I’ll find my way towards it. The seemingly intimidating ocean won’t be able to enforce its dictates. I might get lured or forced away from my purpose occasionally. The mermaids or pirates may have a temporary victory. But till the time there’s even a slightest flicker of my purpose in me, I’ll always return. And, like every reunion I’ll come back with much more intensity. It’s a magical fire within me. My acknowledgement of my purpose keeps this fire ablaze and my every act towards my purpose acts as a fuel for it.
