It is not necessary that we will find the purpose of our lives by accumulating fancy degrees. We don’t have to search for it in formal places only; the realization can dawn on us even in the most unexciting place. In fact our ordinary, relatively dull and unexciting commonplace routine is the right place to reflect. It gives us plenty of time to take stock of our lives see what gives us peace and brings happiness. So based on the realization follow the path that gives you bliss. Latika Teotia
About This Quote

The idea that we can find our purpose simply by doing things that will bring us happiness is a common one. However, the idea that we can find our purpose by doing mundane, unexciting tasks isn’t as common. We tend to assume that the more exciting the task, the closer it gets to finding our purpose. This idea is at best misguided and at worst harmful. The way to finding purpose is through reflection on the meaning of life and how it relates to who we are as people.
