Being lost

In life to be truly and rest and happy with life , you need to feel a sense of belonging and have a purpose for life. Everyone has a vague sense of purpose like for me, my purpose now in life to ensure my family , my son and my husband's have a comfortable and happy life. But that is clearly where my purpose in life is wrong. This is not my purpose .

In the mad run to grow up , over the years of several changes, somewhere down the lane , I lost myself . Ever so often , especially here I have written this down and acknowledged that as well. But even today, I struggle to get a grab on my life and find a purpose. Why am I here ? what should I do? What makes me happy ?

Everyday I think over these questions over and over again and the more I ponder the more lost I get.

If you look at truly happy, NOT Successful, NOT Rich , but truly happy people. They are happy because they truly believe that they are in this world to do what they are doing today. Even if that means simple things like taking care of the house and family or being in a career. They believe what they are doing is what they need to do.

I am on a journey for the last several years to understand that calling for me. As for now, some days I want to be a successful business women and some days all I want to be is a housewife.

But I truly am not sure what makes me happy in life . why do I do what I do each day everyday.

What you wear is who you are

I read in an article today that if everything else were the same , the  decision to chose one individual over the other would be made based on their appearance and what they wear. Working in the recruitment industry I deal with people a lot and perceptions are made about people in a fraction of a second based on several criteria's like what  you wear , how you speak and who you hang out with.

It seems extremely unfair , but unfortunately in a world wear decisions are made first by the eyes, it seems the rule of the game. No wonder increasingly more number of people have issues with the self confidence and body image. No wonder people who don't fit into this frame that society forces upon people are always left feeling insignificant.

I do believe being healthy is extremely important and I do believe self confidence is also important, but I don't think they way you look should have anything to do with how good you are in your work.
