Why Was I Born? Finding Purpose When Life Feels Meaningles


Have you ever asked yourself, “Why was I born?” or “What if I didn’t exist?” These questions often come when life feels heavy, when something bad happens, or when we feel lost. If you’re in that space right now, take a deep breath — you’re not alone.

FEELING LOST?

Sometimes, life throws us into situations we never expected. It could be a bad incident or a sudden change that makes us question our existence. When this happens, it’s okay to step back.

Take a few days off. Rest. Eat. Sleep. Survive. Regain your strength. Avoid making big decisions during this time. Healing requires patience, not rushing.

Lost or Uncertain?

Feeling lost often means you were going in one direction, and suddenly life pushed you onto a completely different road — without a map. That’s normal.

Ask for directions, talk to people, and you’ll realize many others are just as lost. Stressing over what you don’t know won’t solve anything; it will only tire you more.

Take a break. Relax. Give your mind space to breathe. Often, clarity comes when we stop forcing answers.

When There’s No Hope

Hope is what keeps us alive. Without it, life feels meaningless. But hope doesn’t always come from within — sometimes it comes from something bigger than you:

  • A loved one you care for

  • A goal you want to achieve

  • A dream of a better tomorrow

Life can be tough. But having something to hold on to, even if it’s small, gives you the strength to move forward.

Your Thoughts Shape Your Life

We are what we think. Thoughts → Emotions → Actions → Outcome. That’s how life flows.

But here’s the thing: your thoughts are not always the truth. In fact, most of them are shaped by childhood experiences and old perceptions.

So when your mind says, You’re not good enough or There’s no hope, remember — 99.99% of what it tells you is just noise. Don’t believe every thought.

Instead, declare something positive for your future. Say it out loud:
“I will take care of myself.”
“I will eat food that nourishes me.”
“I will choose growth over fear.”

A Small Story

Here’s an example from a book I’m reading.

When Mary (name changed) was 11, an ice cream seller came to her neighborhood every week. She would ask her mother for money, but her mother always said, “Go ask your father, he has the money.” Mary would run to her father, get the money, and enjoy her ice cream.

Her young mind formed a belief: “Money is always with the man of the house, and money is for enjoyment.”

Years later, after she got married, what do you think she asked her husband for? Money.

This shows how early experiences shape lifelong patterns — and often, the way we think about ourselves and our purpose.

Why Was I Born?

Before asking “Why was I born?”, ask yourself:

  • Why am I asking this question?

  • Is it because I want to feel worthy?

  • Is it because I want to believe I am meant for something?

The truth is simple:
You were born to live.
You were born to do your karma — the actions, choices, and efforts you make every day.

How Do I Find My Karma?

You don’t have to “find” it — you simply do it. Every small action, every choice you make, is part of it.

So, what should you do?
Do what makes your soul feel alive. Do what brings peace to your heart. That is your karma, and that is enough.

Final Thoughts

Life may not give us all the answers, but we don’t need to figure everything out at once. Take care of yourself. Protect your thoughts. Choose hope, even when it feels hard. And remember — you were born for a reason, and that reason is created by the way you live today.

Thanks for reading. Have a beautiful day.

how to stop thinking about work?

Are you on a vacation but can't stop thinking about your work? You might be a responsible person but that is not the reason you are thinking about it. Your routine is changed recently and you are in a new environment that is new to you. We are people of habits and actions.  Get away with the tools you use for your work or things that get your brain to work on. Your mobile, your laptop, camera or anything that trigger you to open it and check something or do something because you do not have anything to do. What could go wrong when you will be back on work. This thing is most common and reveals that you are scared of something or someone. Know that thing is important because you are giving it importance may be more than your health, your relationships and things that are actually important. Exercise is important but not always, drinking water is important but not always so work is important but not always. What you've chosen is to take a break, make sure that you are taking a br...

Is heaven actually a higher planet?

Exoplanet Existence of heaven is a lot like existence of God. You never saw him but you know in your heart that the God does exist and he is guiding you at times and he is the reason you are alive. I do not know whether heaven exists or not, neither I've seen it with my eyes. There are different believes among different people, religion and texts but they are all based on something that has been passed on by generations or found in religious texts. Heaven is a place where people want to go but they do not know where it is, neither Google map can locate it. Heaven is a place that is good, rich and has got everything you will ever need. This place would be pleasing for somebody who is not rich does not have enough in this life that is the reason he or she is eager to know whether there is a heaven or not. To have hope to go there by their good deeds if that's the way. Real or just a possibility? There are so many planets in our galaxy and there are so many galaxies in our univers...
