Do Not Search For Resting Point In Life


I will enjoy my life after the completion of my matriculation, after getting good marks, after taking admission in the premier institutes and universities, after completion of so and so degree and course. I will enjoy after getting a good job or starting my own business. I will enjoy my life when I will deposit that much of money in my account. I will enjoy my life when there would be that much property in my name. I will enjoy my life when I will get married. I will enjoy my life when I would have my own kids. I will enjoy my life once I will get promoted to so and so position and post. I will enjoy my life when I would have the power of certain kind in my hand. I will enjoy my life only when I will have fame and popularity.

I will enjoy my life when my children will stand first in their academic. I have to do my job because of my immediate compulsion. I am not enjoying my life working for someone. Do not worry. I will enjoy my life when I will get retirement from my active job. I retired. Still, I am not enjoying. There is something I need to take care. Ok. I will enjoy my life once my children will get a job, married and settled in their life. I will enjoy … when….. I will enjoy …..when ….. But in fact, when ….?

In the expectation of enjoying life on certain occasion and point, many people came to this planet and left this planet, but could not enjoy their life, because, we are searching for something in our life which is not present. We are searching for the destination in our life. We are searching for the point in our life where we can rest and enjoy our life. We forget that there cannot be any resting point in life. There cannot be a destination where you can rest and enjoy your life and can say that I am enjoying my life after reaching this and that destination. Now, I need not to move further to enjoy my life. I have reached the destination of my life where happiness and joy are raining on me. Do not think about it. This is not going to happen. This is absolutely wrong understanding about the journey of life.

Life is a journey, not a destination. If you search for the destination in the journey of life, you will never get it, because it is not there. In the hollow expectation of getting the destination of life and then enjoy life, we spoil our life, we prepare our mind for the wrong thing. When our mind does not get what the expectation we have given to our mind, it irritates and horrifies our life. In the search for enjoyment and happiness at a certain point and on a certain occasion, we invite miseries and distress in our life.

The final destination of life is death. Nothing else. If you reached that destination, means you have lost your life. This world exists till your eyes are opened and mind is working. The moment your eyes are closed forever, this world is finished for you.

Do not make mistake in squandering your precious piece of life in the blind search for the resting point in your life. Simply you are not going to get it. Life is a journey, make it pleasant, and enjoy each and every bit of its existence. Set goal in your life to give a positive direction of your life. Achieve your goal and bask in the glory for your achievement, but do not stop there, make another goal in your life and keep forging ahead.

Embrace your success and failure equality. Success and failure is nothing but two wheels of the journey of life. They will keep rotating at regular interval to make you move further in your life. Enjoy those.

The people who understand this basic design of life, they do not wait for some great achievement or some great event to happen in their life in order to enjoy their life. They enjoy every moment of it because they understand that the life is very fragile. Every moment of life is precious. Nobody knows which moment would be the last moment of his life. So why procrastinate the joy and happiness for tomorrow and live in distress and misery for today in the void expectation for better tomorrow which is uncertain. Rather let us procrastinate the distress and miseries, the stress, tension, and worry for tomorrow and enjoy the life for today.

Do whatever you do at this moment big or small, but do with full enjoyment. Completely immerse into that. This is the only moment left for you. Do not program your amenable mind to search for the resting point and destination in your life. That does not exist. You will not get it. Start enjoying your life to the fullest from now.


There is a last day of everybody`s life. Live as if today is your last day. Without repent, without guilt. With full of compassion and love. In a complete indulgence. This moment is absolutely your moment, submerge into it, live it and enjoy it before it is too late.
