What are the things that carry us along with life? We do things as per our needs, we make decisions, we love people, we help and beyond all, there is a significant term known as intention. We do things with certain terms and conditions, maybe the condition does not have any sort of condition. The things that drive us are basically categorized into fear, duty, love, and desire. When it comes to fear we think that certain things I am going to do will have bad consequences and lead us to hell, which forces us to do good. While talking about duty is nothing but taking responsibility for what is necessary for you to do, love is unconditional and we do it for the sake of people we love, which makes them happy, and here comes the last desire, the inner urge to do something which we think will make us happy.
The most dangerous category here is desire, We humans have always wanted to achieve something in life, and this sense of achieving things is mostly influenced by the external surroundings and people, we think that if that makes them happy it will definitely make me happy but it is not the truth. The happiness we are searching for is hidden within, we think that by getting those things we can be happy but after getting that we are not, and here is the reason why. because of our wrong intentions, influenced by external factors, we want something with wrong intentions which ultimately leads us toward sadness, but wanting something with pure intention is what makes you happy in the end. What is a pure intention? The thing which will make you happy at the same time some other person, surroundings will not be negatively affected by it.
Do what your heart says, go make money, buy cars, and make a house with a huge pool, but with pure intention, here I am not saying to think about others good instead think about yourself in a way that will not negatively affect other, and if in the process you can help people, then definetly this is the best thing you can do with your life.
Do what you love by taking care of others that is how you will be happy in the end.
I wish you love & happiness.
