Purposeless Ego

I think it has kind of been a tradition to write in this blog during winter rather than summer. For today's topic will revert to movies again. I have watched the movie Dhruva twice in the last week and I am impressed by it. The movie makes it clear that it is important to have a purpose in life to guide you and to help you make the right choice at each moment.The movie's protagonist tells his friends that the choice of your enemy describes your capacity. This is similar to your purpose defining your life. I could not help but relate this to myself; about me thinking about having a purpose rather than passion. All along I have been searching for something I'm passionate about while I should have been searching for a purpose. While passion makes it easier to focus on the short-term, the purpose makes me choose my actions over the long term. It is also result oriented and measurable. Unlike passion which is volatile and emotional. I think the book "Ego is the enemy" is making me realise what I have always known before that my ego is what stops me from achieving things. That ego which I think drives my passion is the most useless thing and that I should stop using it. I am now more conscious about my thoughts and their effect on limiting my actions. But I am still unable to execute as per my plans though I am at least making effort.  Hopefully we'll see some results soon and I'll have my purpose.
