It was a wonderful birthday that is coming to an end. It was an unusual birthday - the birthday I celebrated in Atlanta away from family and friends. Definitely I missed them, but there were surprises to compensate for that. Calls from people whom you never expect a call. Many old friends and few 'not' friends called up and made this wonderful day. This was one part of it. The other part was the thought which was pondering me for the whole day.
What are we here for? Why were we born? What have we done in so many years? End of the day what do we want in life? As usual, I never found an answer. That was the moment I decided that there's no point thinking all this. I always listen to what my heart says and for a long time I was thinking - Is that THE approach? Well, I don't care. It works for me and I am a person of heart. I love to listen to what my heart says. It's fun.
I do not want to think what people did to me and neither do I want to think what I did to them. I am happy the way I am and there are people to back me. I just want to keep doing what I feel like without 'bothering' anyone. This is where I feel I am really independent - independence of thought. And that is why I am on this earth. Yes!!! So I got an answer finally. I am here for 'independence of thought'. And I define 'independence of thought' as divine pleasure derived from listening to one's own heart.
It's that simple.
